I've heard of this problem when you create a view with the View Designer. The only solution I know of is to take your view out of the View Designer (with GenDBC) and do it in code, or with one of the third party view editiors like Eview or ViewEdit. The problem is that the code the view designer generates is marking the second table as updateable even though it isn't supposed to be.
