Ahhh- ok.

If you have the base table open and buffered in the same datasession, then yes, this is what you have to do. Generally, there is no need to have the base table open in the same datasession unless you are using it for other purposes (the view will open its own copy if there is not one open). What's happening is known as double buffering: the writes changes to the buffered copy of the table, but they are not written to disk until the table is TABLEUPDATEed as well.
