DBGETPROP(,"VIEW","SQL")
will fetch the sql and I have used this at times to modify a query and updated the dbc with
DBSETPROP(.....) I would have to look up syntax. I guess you could get the sql modify it, create a new view with the consistent items such as table,field etc, stuff in the modified SQL. I have no idea what the visual designer would think of this. The designer doesn't mind my modification so it should work. If so you could write a 'wizard' to allow you to modify the query and replicate the common view properties. Good luck!
