Hi Lynda.

>I assume that the AccPac DBC must be open although I can't find a place this is done explicitly. Perhaps it is opened implicitly by the application's DBC when the parameterized local view is opened in the form's DE.

Yes, when you open a view, it opens the source tables, which mean the DBC for those tables is also opened.

After the view is opened, you know the source table will be open, so why not try CURSORGETPROP() to see if the source table is being buffered or not?
