>A DataView is, by default, a read-only view of data. However, you can use the DataView to add, delete, or modify rows of data in the underlying table by setting one of three Boolean properties of the DataView. These properties are AllowNew, AllowEdit, and AllowDelete. They are set to true by default, and enable you to specify whether you can modify the data in the underlying DataTable of the DataView.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how can a DataView be read-only by default, when it's AllowNew, AllowEdit, and AllowDelete are set to .T.?
