>Both the view AND the table are buffered, so so need to issue 2 TABLEUPDATES, first the view, then the table. Better yet, don't buffer the table, then you just need 1 TABLEUPDATE, on the view.

What you suggested works. But for kicks I decided to try your "better yet" method. I turned off all buffering at the form property. I then
went to the DE and enabled optimistic row buffering on the view. It still exhibits the same behavior and I have to do the tableupdate
on both the view and table. Any more tips?
