Hi Lynda.

>Somehow, the VFP data seems to be double buffered and the updates aren't always written through to the source tables.

That's a common problem. The solution is to either turn off buffering for the source tables using CURSORSETPROP() or to specifically issue TABLEUPDATE() against the source tables after using TABLEUPDATE() on the views. My preference is the former since double-buffering doesn't make any sense to me.
