>"cannot insert an empty row from a view into is base table(s)"

My first thought is that you need to populate a key field before issuing a TableUpdate() on the view. Check your SQL and see what you have selected in the update options. Another issue might be that a blank record already exists in the base table and the No Duplicates flag has been checked in the options. More information in how you are doing this -- through the project dbc or coded and what the procs you're calling -- would be helpful. Renoir
