Are you putting the view in the DE of a form? If so, in the BeforeOpenTables, you need to put:

set talk off
set deleted on

Either that, or set NoDataOnLoad property of the cursor to TRUE. Then after the form loads, you can REQUERY() the view in something like the Activate or Init or right before you need the contents of the view.

>That worked fine, however, when I set deleted on, and use a view on the table with the deleted records, the deleted records show up in the view. I have a GROUP BY, and ORDER BY clause in the query BTW. Why would deleted records show up?
