Hi Foxperts,

I've got a view that, for some reason, is having its primary key field re-evaluated (using the database/table default property) even though the view contains the valid key already!? I've traced through at execution to determine this to be happening on the tableupdate. I set the primary key calling the stored procedure spNewID that generates unique keys when I create the view record rather than having it populated later. That way, child views can get their parent id as well. This has worked for me in the past!

Why would this happen (that it doesn't respect the primary key field already set and instead wants to get a new primary key)?

Here's the view definition. I opened it up in the ViewDesigner also and nothing stood out as wrong. I've got the primary key (orderid) identified and its updatable. ????

lcViewName = "vuOrders"
CREATE SQL VIEW "vuOrders" as ;
SELECT orders.orderid, orders.userid, orders.customerid, orders.shipname, orders.shipaddr1, ;
orders.shipaddr2, orders.shipcity, orders.shipstate, orders.shipzip, orders.confirmation, ;
orders.orderdate, orders.delivdate, orders.shipdate, orders.trackno, ;
orders.notes, MAX(t1.statusdate) as lastdate, NVL(t1.status,SPACE(10)) as status, ;
orders.delflag ;
FROM sdnp!orders ;
LEFT JOIN sdnp!tracking t1 ;
ON orders.orderid == t1.orderid ;
WHERE orders.orderid = ?vp_OrderID
