Thanks Mark!

I was thinking (no way to test this) when you LIST or DISPLAY data from the Command Window, doesn't it also have a "field_name" as header for the field names?

>>>Hello,
>>>I have a view that I generate on-the-fly, and a character field called 'field_name' that is set as updatable with the DBSetProp() command, as are many other fields. All fields get their values updated as expected, except the one named 'field_name'! If I change the name to anything else, it works... Is this some unknown reserved word? If I create the view in the view designer with the name 'field_name', everything works fine - it's only when creating it in code.
>>>Any other experiences with this?
