I don't use the view designer at all. All of my view definitions are in a prg which I can update and run whenever I need to. I don't find that awkward in that the views I do put in the DBC are relatively fixed in nature. Sure, they might change, but not significantly. But I also have views that are really just cursors (not created using the CREATE command and not stored in the DBC), that have their code stored in "Client" or wherever needed.
