Didn't had problems with that. Only with NOT NULL constraints and empty remote view records. This can be solved either by defining default vaues at remote view level or at database level (I choosed the last).

Try:

CREATE VIEW myview remote as SELECT distinct MSALESREPS.*, ;
		MSALESREPS_A.CNAME AS CSPONNAME, ;
		MSALESREPS_A.CCITY AS CSPONCITY, ;
		MSALESREPS_A.CCODE AS CSPONCODE ;
	FROM MSALESREPS MSALESREPS ;
		left JOIN MSALESREPS MSALESREPS_A ;
				ON MSALESREPS.IID = MSALESREPS_A.IID ;
	ORDER BY MSALESREPS.CNAME, MSALESREPS.CCITY

for avoiding duplicates

I don't have so much experience, but I've finished a projects and I currently work on another.

Ok.
