>I set all of the fields as Updatable EXCEPT the KeyField in MyTable and the fields in MyCodeTable. I set SendUpdates to true. I played around with the "Tables" property. By default it lists both tables. If I change it to specify only MyTable, when I make changes to the view it doesn't update MyTable. If the Tables property lists both tables and I delete a record in MyView, it deletes the corresponding records in BOTH tables. All I want is to be able to update MyTable. It shouldn't change anything in MyCodeTable.

I'm not sure, it's kind of tricky :) But my procedure for this is to use the Designer for a simplified version, but selecting/setting all the fields as desired. Then get the code for the view (I suggest Erik Moore's Genview from the Files section). Then compare (and perhaps copy) all the view properties/settings you need into your own view generation code...
