>But I think what I find disturbing is a conversation I had with Randy Brown last fall, mentioning the inability of the View Designer to handle very basic joins (as we all know, the parser gets the clause order wrong when attempting more than one join from a table and thereby gives us the 'column not found' thing) and Randy seemed unaware of the problem and then said in "Well, the View Designer wasn't intended to handle very complex views." Hmmm.

My conversation with him in the pool at Orlando was they were thinking about getting one from the community, or being able to set a system variable for that app that is used as the "native" view designer, or somethign like that. Nothing definitate or official, but I think they know of the problems now.
