>1. Are you using the View designer?

YES. I created a database, added a connection, and created the views. I then built the form and added a dataenvironment that included the views. I added the controls to the form and selected their control sources from the combobox in the properties window. I also set relationships between the views in the load event of the form. All seems to work well with moving around in the views
and displaying the data. I have an 'Add' button that does INSERT INTO the approriate views when I need to add records, and a 'Save' button that does the tableupdate() for each view in succession. If I browse the views in the dataenvironment, all my modifications appear as I would expect. They just don't go out to SQL Server. Of course, when I close down the form designer and come back in, the views are reflective of the SQL Server data tables and have lost my changes.

>2. Have you turned on the 'send updates'.

YES.

>3. Have you done a tableupdate() to send the updates, then a requery() to see if they are on the back end?

YES to the tableupdate() and NO to the Requery(). I have gone out in SQL Executive and looked at the tables though.

>4. Are you loggin on to the SQL server with an account that has writes to do the update?
>
YES I have all necessary rights to the SQL database. I am using ODBC with a machine DSN which connects properly.

There has to be something I'm missing. I just can't see it.
