Lee I've seen this happen when you create a view using the * indicating you want to use all the columns in the table. I don't use the * I specify all the columns by name. Buddy

Hello everyone- When I use my latest Windows 6.5++ single user RBase version with the latest build, whenever I add a column to a table that is used in a multi-table view, double clicking the corresponding view causes the view to not open. This has been my indication that the view needs to be "updated" so as to now reflect the enlarged table used within the view. Once I edit the view, the view works once again, and is available and can be used outright, or with the related forms and programming. I recently bought the 6.5++ multi user pack, and re-installed the system from scratch, as instructed with the package. What's interesting, is that when adding a column to the same table as before, the respective view works just fine (by double clicking it), but a form associated with the view now does not work until the view is again updated via the same method as before. This scenario causes a command file to bomb out when trying to use the form until the view is updated. Unfortunately, if I happen to miss a view to be updated-- we are done. Is this what everyone else is experiencing? I like the old way better, as it is a cleaner way to see if your views are up to date. Double clicking a view either works or it doesn't.
