This is a local view using VFP as the data engine so it's not like I am using ODBC or SQL server where I can capture what is being sent to the back end. I looked around for a SYS() command that might give this to me but I could not find anything.

You don't say what "weird" stuff is happening, but here's a start.

The WhereType tells you what would be added:

1 - Key fields only: e.g., if keyfield = "iid" and current row iid = 3 then tags this to the update: "WHERE iid = 3"

2 - Key and Updatable fields - in addition to the key field, adds to the where down the list of updatable fields, e.g.: "WHERE iid = 3 AND field1= old_field1_value AND field2 = ...."

3 - Key and Modified fields - same as 2, but for modified fields instead of updatable, e.g. if only field2 was modified: "WHERE iid = 3 AND field2 = old_field2_value"

4 - Key and Timestamp - more applicable to SQL Server remote views - same as 1, but compares timestamps as well, e.g., "WHERE iid = 3 AND timestamp=old_timestamp_value"

My guess is you have a couple of different records that match the WHERE that is added.
