You can do this by creating your remote view via code... you can't creat or open this view in the view designer...

create sql view MyView remote share as 'select * from p1 where &lcwhere'

Now that you have the remote view created, you just have to make sure that you populate a private variable lcWhere with your where. So, for the situation above you might have code like...

if gcFunction = '001'
   lcWhere = '.t.'
else
   lcWhere = 'p1_funckey = @gcfunction'
endif

use MyView

Let me know if this works... I am not sure if it is exactally right... this technique was in a FoxAdvisor last year.
