John,

I beg to differ. Remote views can be used in a middle tier the same way they can be used in the front end. I personally thing doing this...

vp_CustID = 123
use v_Customer

replace Blah with Blah, ;
Blah with Blah, ;
Balh with Blah, etc

lSuccess = tableupdate()

Is easier than using SPT and building the Update query string. Granted, you won't have access to the remote view in the UI, but that is a different issue.
