>>Well, it was only needed to explicitly tell VFP that it must evaluate the cWhere during requering the view at runtime.

If you did not include the ? and and variable cWhere does exist during creation of the view, it would just evaluate the cwhere at creation time (which of course leads to a fixed where definition), while we want one where cWhere is evaluated at design [G: Guess you mean RUN here!] time.
