JOsé,
You already suggested me xcase, but as I already invested in stonefield database kit, and as xcase isn't for free, I'm still hesitating.
For now I'm still struggling with some problems that have to be sorted out before I can take full advantage of views. Untill now I have tried some advanced options on views using eview from erik moore and eview does what I want, but still my basic problems remain. (BTW : erik did a modification on my demand to eview in no time = thanks eric !!)
My BIG problem is, and it seems that I alone have the problem, is that my grids based on updateable views start acting very weird if the update to the basetables are rejected due to basetablerules. As long as this problem isn't solved, and I'm afraid there is no solution, I'm doing checkings on the data in the view instead letting the databaserules do their work.
What I find VERY strange is that I'm doing nothing very special and that no-one seems to have encountered this problem.
