To make a view truly updateable through code you have to set more properties than just updateable property. Namely, you have to set the field's updatename property, so vfp knows which view fields correspond to which table fields. THe best way to make sure you get all the properties set is to run gendbc to get a complete code listing of the view. You can then modify this listing as needed.

I have put together a utility you might find useful for this: it does the same thing as gendbc, but for a single view or table and it is available here in the files section (gentable).
