When you are in the view designer, put down the QUERY menu, and select View Paramaters... make sure that is empty.

Open the database exclusive...

Do the following commands in the command window

open data YOURDATABASE excl
validate database recover
compile database YOURDATABASE


Let me know if this helps.
