>I don't hink we will see this one fixed. Microsoft has known about it since 3.0 and hasn't fixed it yet. As Robert Green said a couple of DevCons ago, "If you have asked for something for 3 version and haven't gotten it, get a clue."

I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't bug fix this error. I can't be a problem to do this. MS Access does not have this fault (but a lot of other bugs).

>Besides the design goal for the query and view desingers is to deal with teh simple stuff. It is expected that folks doing more three table joins will end up editing the SELECT command anyway.

Well, I usually create views with the SELECT command and add them to the database, but every time I want to modify a view in the database designer, I get this error. So I have to delete the view from the database and add the new again. :-((

Yes, I would als like to see it fixed, perhaps in VFP 10.
