You could, I guess, if the view is nothing more than "SELECT * FROM table". Why are you using the view? Also, if you have the view and the table it updates both open and both buffered, the TABLEUPDATE on the view will update the buffered table data, not the actual table itself.
>Am I complicating the issue by using a view? Can I use the same basic code directly with the table?
