Hi Bernard,

Do you mean TABLEUPDATE() (i.e. singlerow) put your data in the table?
If you anwser this 'yes', than you can use a loop as mentioned in Message#617142.

But this is a kludge, try

LOCAL;
 laRecErr(1),;
 laErr(1),;
 lnLoop
SELECT FinalView
TABLEUPDATE(2, .T., 'FinalView',laRecErr) 
DO CASE
 CASE VARTYPE(laRecErr)='L'
*all ok. the update runs perfectly
*still not in table? Go back to viewdefinition.
 CASE laRecErr=-1
 SET ASSERT ON
  AERROR(laErr)
  ASSERT .F. MESSAGE 'Havy Error, check Array laErr'
 OTHERWISE
  FOR lnLoop = 1 TO ALEN(laErr)
   GO (laErr(lnLoop))
   ASSERT EMPTY(GETFLDSTATE(-1)) MESSAGE 'This rec fails multirow'
   ASSERT !TABLEUPDATE(0,.T.) MESSAGE 'Single row works fine'
  ENDFOR
ENDCASE

I still have fears about your viewdefinition, especially those multi keys.
