Re-selecting doesn't seem to help. I did notice something strange, though. I watched the DataSession window while the code was being executed and when MyView was selected, I saw the cursor flash to the view and then back to the other table. I don't know why. Does it have anything to do with the fact that the view is based on this other table?
