I don't _think_ this is true, since it would be difficult in the case of 2:Many views to figure out which record on the 2 side to update, you have to deal with cases in which a column update changes the result set, and so on. MS Access allows this by introducing a non-standard SQL keyword DISTINCTROWS and the resulting views work differently than regular ones. But if you have a multi-table editable view defined, I'd love to see the definition. > Am I just a dinasor or are there others who lament the > loss of all those printed manuals we used to get with > our software purchases. Personally, I prefer electronic manuals which have the virtue of being searchable, and allow me to cut and paste sample code. Ocassionally I'll print out a chapter for off-line study. I really like the web based documentation (like the Property builder) which is both easy to use and guaranteed up-to-date. -- Larry
