The view is precisely an updatable cursor, almost by definition. I don't think VFP has another "easy" way to achieve the same result.
You could use a regular cursor, but then you would have to take care of all the synchronization yourself (detect what records have changed, locate the records in the underlying table, update them).
The view does all this automatically for you, so I would suggest to simply use views.
