Some complex views get twisted when opened in the View Designer.
Best advice is to use genview.prg (? available in UT downloads) to create a program that creates your complex view correctly, then edit the program rather than using the VD to make changes you need. If you alter the underlying tables you can also simply run the program to recreate the view properly.
Alternatively invest in xcase (
www.xcase.com) which will allow you to define views visually and have them created properly for local tables or for most other C/S databases.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
