Larry,
Behind the scenes, a view creates a SQL UPDATE statement to update the data. Without a unique key, there is nothing to put in the WHERE clause so all values would get updated.

You need to create some unique expression for the record. If there is nothing, create a new field. If a combination of existing fields can be used then select each of those in the view designer by clicking on the Key button in the field list under the Update Criteria tab.

HTH.
