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"?
