Hi Ray ----

>If 2 users are accessing the same 'view' with diffent filtering criteria, will they see thier own sets of data? Or is there a single location that contains the records from the SQL that would be seen by anyone looking at it? Or do I have the concept all wrong?

I think you have the concept wrong. Views are local updateable cursors, to use 2.6 terminology. Client-side cursors to use client/server terminology. So, the data in your view is invisible and untouchable by anyone else.
