Hi!

Not recommended. If the view's key field is updatable, the default function for the INSERT will not be called, if the new record is added into the view by the INSERT command. If you use APPEND BLANK command to add new record to view, even when the field is updatable, default value function will be called for table. Its strange nehavior. You do not require to avoid it, but when avoiding it you will get the regular values, like '1,2,3...', when with additional calling of function from table ID values will look like '1,3,5,7'... - with gaps. You can remove the default function from table only in case you're sure new records will be inserted into table only through view or with already generated ID values.

>Ahh thanks Vlad - so basically the view gets the next primary and the table default is redundant? Could I remove the default in the table?
