>Hi folks - when ever I add an extra field to a table - all the views based on that table lose their default and update settings. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? Is there anything I can do with eView?

Chris,
My workaround is like this :
do home()+'tools\gendbc'gendbc' && Creates programmatic version of creating DBC
drop the views
make table changes
run only view creating sections from generated prg.
