Hi Erik,
I did what you suggested. I found that the tableupdate was not committed because
the view was read only, how could that happened, the error number is 111,
it says 'Cannot update the cursor'. Any thoughs on that one ?

>Even though you are forcing updates, there are still several situation where TABLEUPDATE will fail: unique key violation, trigger failure, locked table header or record, etc. You should always check the results of TABLEUPDATE() to be sure and catch this...
