-ViewA has only one base table (FP 2.x).
-Base table is not buffered.
-ViewA buffered opt.table.
-Fields are set updatable in tableA
-Sendupdates .t.
-a rec is inserted in ViewA
-tableupdate(2,.t.,"viewA") returns false with error 1547.

Well Ed then I'm at a deadend. I can't figure out where the "empty row" is. A funny joke I can think of is some code in stored procs inserting one empty record or tablereverting.
