I have a couple questions about views.

I converted a project to use a view instead of a table. When using a table, the “Set Exclusive Off” allowed it to be shared. Once I started using the view, it only opens up in Exclusive mode. Every thing else is still the same except a view instead of a table. Does a view need to be shared or is it considered a private date session?

The other question has to do with buffering. I originally had the table set to Pessimistic table buffering. Once I switched to a view, I get an error unless I chance it to Optimistic. The help says views require optimistic but the book, “Using Visual FoxPro 6, Special Edition”, says you can change it to pessimistic. Since it doesn’t seem to work I guess the book is wrong. Can anyone confirm this for me?

TIA
