When desiging a view and have the following expression as one of the fields:

PADR(MyTable.MyMemoField,200) As MyCharacterfield

it is impossible te make this field updatable within the query designer. When I manually set updatable to .T. with changing the the DBSETPROP line into

DBSetProp(ThisView+".MyCharacteField","Field","Updatable",.T.)

within the SQL window, it's automatically reset when I save the View. The only workarround is to bypass the view designer and use a PRG to define the view programtically.

Any comments ?
