Erik,

Why don't you post your view code?

>I am trying to make an edit screen for a jobs table (an order can have several jobs). In that table there is a field called iLocationID that refers to a location that is needed for that job. Now instead of ID number I am trying to display the actual location name which is stored in another table.

>My initial thought to do this was to create a view for that jobs business object that had an inner join with the locations table so it could retieve the location name. I then specified that all the fields in that view (except for the location name) were updateable. I think this caused an error when I tried to save a new record.
>
>My next try was to put two views in that business object. The first one was just a plain old view of the jobs table without the inner join and the second was was the one with the inner join. I was thinking that I could refer to the second table in my grid for display purposes but it would only try to save to the first view in the object. I got some strange results.
