>I tried adding the rule view to the data environment, and using the FLUSH FORCE. The rule table still will not update until I close the form. Once again, the rule table is used in the imbedded clistobj grid business object on the main form. The main form has the primary business object 'users obj'.

You're trying to update two views within the same business object? Not sure if the framework allows that - I always have two bizobjs with one the parent of the other.
