>>>I have an Updateable view who's base table has a unique ID (from a lookup table), the base table has a default value that is a function that gets the next ID - that's all fine however when I add a record to the view it doesn't have the default value in it so I've set the same call in the default value of the view - how I'm finding that the ID is incrementing twice!

I'm stumped. It's exactly the reverse what I said.
If it's updatable then default for base should never be called.
