Ok, so you've both (Ed & Ted) put more or less the same scenario.

Encouraged by Ted's (wholly accurate, of course) outline of how to do 
this "manually", and the VFP view wizard, how about the following.

My view (aka "join") works by linking foreign and primary keys 
ideally.  To update it probably requires all primary keys to be 
included.  Then doesn't it become simple?  I've got the primary keys 
for all the tables I want to update.  Ok, *if* I don't include those 
keys or *if* I don't have primary it won't work.

Of course, I'd still like an answer to my previous question.  If this 
is really not doable and views can only update one table, how much of 
an advantage are they really, except to give server tables a "local 
presence"?
