Unfortunately view designer has limited capabilities. Every user has the capability of screwing views. They could do it just changing a parameter too.
Anyway you could check the SQL before using it and if screwed, drop the view and recreate.
?dbgetprop("myView","View","SQL") would return the sql.

Or do not arm the user with VFP :)
