All my apps are view based and I can't imagine coding all the dbsetprops by hand. Plus we used a DBCXII based data dictionary so both vfegenview and viewedit keep track of dbcx prop as well when the generate prgs for views and create views in the dbc from prgs. Pretty slick, but the VFP view designer isn't very useful in the process.

>Well, using the VFP view designer has always been an excercise in masochism anyway <s> Fortunately, Rick Schummer's ViewEdit ( continuing good work done by Steve Sawyer ) and in the VFE ide Dan Goodwin's VFEGenview have made working with the remote views against SQL backends a delight.>
>It's been so long since I've done any VFP, so my memory's a bit rusty (well, that could be attributed to getting old too <g>) ... but I don't think we ever used the view designer. I guess I was lucky. <g>

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
