>>Michel,
>>The view designer is *very* limited when it comes to joining more than just a few tables. So you'll be better to do everything in code.
>>Personnaly I use xCase a lot, and its view designer has achieved till now all I wanted, with the notable exception that it can't build a view based on another view. But Elie Muyal, maker of xCase told this will be done in a future release.

>Also, you can use the "Drew Speedie" method, where you begin with View Designer, add starting view to DBC. Then run GENDBC. Cut out the view code, paste it into a program, and edit it any way you see fit. Then run the PRG, adding your customized view any DBC you want. Save PRG to make future changes, and/or use to make other views...Works great.

Yes, but the code to set up the updatable fields it not part of the View Sql. Is there a way to obtain that?
