Jim:

I just looked. It's a key made up of three fields. I went back into the view designer and checked all three of those fields under the key column of the update criteria. So every field is marked updatable, and those three fields are marked as key. The SQL Where group is set to key and updatable fields. Now all fields update in the base table with exception of the first field. It is blank. The view displays all fields properly.

Base Table:

DNIS DAY START_TIME END_TIME DEST

Key Key Key

Blank OK OK OK OK

I'm almost there, but not quite.
