Hi!

Get the SQL statement of the view and find all '?'. Well, a bunch of processing is required because view accepts parameters like 'alias.Fieldname' or 'object.object....object.property'

Instead of CREATEOFFLINE, I would suggest you to use COPY TO command and copy data into the table, than add fields to track changes in that table. When going online and updating the main database, use these fields for tracking changes to update data on the server. This way you can also track the collisions that is not available for offline views. More reliable and no problem with parametrized views. Well, this require to make your own data handling class that will be aware of the offline state and store required information about changes...

Since I'm trying to make this whole routine generic, I won't know in advance what views are present, which views are parameterized nor what the parameters are asking for.
