>This doesn't sound like a multi-table remote view. If it was, then adding a record would always add to both tables, not conditionally on any field. I see and understand that you're doing the with SP, but I STILL DON'T see how this could be accomplished conditionally using a multi-table remote view.

Well part of the problem is that you have no control with a RV - which is why I don't use them. With RV - I BELIEVE - that if you insert into the view and both tables are set to be updated - that you will just create a null-filed record in the second table.

That is why I use SP with data-objects that get my SPT cursors. I avoid the wrapper effect of a RV and can get "in between" the two updates with hooks to make decisions about whether to ever create the record in the second table or not.
