Are you re-querying the view after the insert?

If you have default values being inserted in the tables (like a primary key), the view will not have that value and so when you try and update it, VFP sees a conflict because the table has a value that is not in the view.

Use the REQUERY( '[viewname]' ) function to refresh the view after an insert to ensure that the view is properly synchronized with the table
