Hi David,

Yes this view uses 4 tables, but only 1 is updatable. The other 3 are used just for filtering.

I fixed my problem by :
1. Going into the view designer and Check-Mark the 2 fields.
2. Save the view (the 2 fields show up on CURSORGETPROP('UpdatableFieldList')
3. Going into the view designer and UN-Check the 2 fields.
4. Save the view (the 2 fields DID NOT show up on CURSORGETPROP('UpdatableFieldList')

Thanks for pounding away until I got it.

>>My problem: I've triple checked my view. I have 2 fields that keep showing up on CURSORGETPROP('UpdatableFieldList'), but they ARE NOT check marked in the view designer. After looking closer they are the only 2 fields in that table that show up, all the rest of the fields in that table don't show up. Always before, I saw those 2 fields, so assumed that it didn't work the way I thought and quit looking further. So now I guess there's something wrong with my view and the way VFP 7.0 is storing it in the DBC.
