>>To be honest, I would design my views in xCase along with everything else in the database, and update my dbc from the xCase model. <<

I try to do the same, even though the temptation to rattle off a quick view using the View Designer or something is sometimes almost irresistable...

IMHO xCase really comes into its own when you add or alter fields... no more SNAFU'd views being hunted down for the next week. And shifting the whole thing between backends is just glorious.

Of course, there are those who would say that we should not be using Views but should use SPT or SP, but that is a different (and deadly) topic... < g >
