Outer joins are notoriously tricky to get to work as updatable. The reason is because of the way that TABLEUPDATE converts edits into SQL. For example, a row that only exists for one side of the join will NOT be seen as a new row when values are changed for the side where no row existed (NULL). Calling TABLEUPDATE will generate an UPDATE statement instead of an INSERT statement and nothing gets updated.

The only way to really track it down (hopefully this is a remote view) is to watch what the SQL statement is that is being executed. I do this is SQL server by watching the current activity when I issue TABLEUPDATE(). If this doesn't make it clear I can help you out further if necessary. I've developed some (ugly) workarounds for similar problems.

Also, you don't make it clear below what the primary key is for MyTable. This could also be a potential problem if the primary key is not unique.

>I just can't seem to get this to work. I have a view defined in code as:
>
>CREATE VIEW MyView AS ;
>SELECT MyTable.*, MyCodeTable.CodeDesc, MyCodeTable.Code ;
>FROM MyTable ;
>LEFT OUTER JOIN MyCodeTable ;
>ON MyTable.CodeValue=MyCodeTable.Code ;
>WHERE MyTable.ID=?AnotherTable.ID
>
>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.
