>>That's my general understanding, but a view isn't really a table, either, so I don't know what's happening here. The problem may arise from forming the CDX based on the alias rather than on the underlying table name, or there may be a difference in the header of a view. I'm guessing at this point, as I pointed out in the preceding message.

Actually, post a FAQ entry on it, so that the next person who runs into the problem can stand a chance of looking up the problem and finding a solution to it. It's no more difficult to put up a FAQ entry than it is to post a message, and in the long run it builds the common knowledge base - so you won't have to watch for it and post and repost the problem and fix over and over; you can be a curmudgeon like me and say "It's right there in the FAQ!"
