I have recreated the problem. It is not rule_id alone.

Create a table with fields "rule_id" and "rule".

Create a simple view off it.
Eview will see "rule" and other fields, but not rule_id

The following sample code will recreate the problem if it is run in a directory with no name conflicts and has a path to eview

create database test
open database test
set database to test
create table test (rule_id i, rule c(10))
create sql view lv_test as select * from test
use lv_test
do eview
