Right now I'm just trying get the base table to update, so I am typing the following at the command line:

OPEN DATABASE Data
SELECT 0
USE TableA
SELECT 0
USE Data!ViewA
CURSORSETPROP("buffering", 5, "ViewA")
SELECT ViewA
INSERT INTO ViewA(Dnis) VALUES("Test")
TABLEUPDATE(2,.T., "ViewA")

record is in view, but not in base table. TABLEUPDATE() returns F, AERROR() shows Error 1547, "Cannot insert an empty row from a view into its base table".
