The problem I was having was strange and abnormal. No tinkering with the share clause, asych or fetch resolved the problem. I was only able to create the view if I left off the Begin_Date > ?lnBgnDate part of the where clause.

>>Welcome to my world. :( I was experiencing the same problem using the MS ODBC drivers (3 different versions) on an Oracle 7.3 db. However, I got the error programmatically and via the designer when trying to parameterize a date field. I never could figure this out. I worked around this form now by creating a remote view using a parameter on a different (character) field. Then I created a local view of the remote view using the date parameter. :( What happens if you do put quote marks arount the view name and the connection name? I do not think they are necessary. But since that works, I wonder why this fails in the designer because the SQL generated omits the quoe marks?
