>I've used views of views before without issue, but apparently they were all non-updateable and I didn't realize it. I'm trying to do an updateable view of an updateable view, and the View Designer isn't having it. The view was using v_otherview as an apparent free table, but the DBSETPROP statements use Database!lv_otherview. Manual changes to "v_otherview" were undone when saved.

I've done this before and managed to get it to work just fine (although I always hear people tell me I'm nuts for doing it) - but I've never had a problem using this logic....so....
What version of VFP are you using? Are both views local views? Or is this first one a remote view? And are both views in the same DBC?
