>>>My form contains a parameterized view which supplies data for the rows of a grid. The grid data are to be read-only. When the form starts, the unwanted message "Edits to view may not be permanent" always comes up. I have tried changing the view with DBSetProp('voucsub', 'View', 'SendUpdates', .F.), but it doesn't help. The view is not accessible from the view designer.

Check out my alternative to the view designer, eView. you can get it here in the files section, under VFP in general. It allows you to edit views that are too complex for the view designer. I am still working some of the kinks out, but I think its about 98% functional. Try it and see if it solves your view problem
