I haven't seen any comments on my second question but as I have found an alternative method of getting what I need the question now becomes academic only:
Am I right in assuming that it is not possible to have in any R:Base form a non-updateable view as one of its secondary tables - even though it is simply displaying data and not - directly - being edited? (The view would get more rows as its driving table has rows entered.) Out of interest to anybody who just might be wondering how I solved my problem I did so by using a dummy table as my driving table with numerous variables and an EEP to insert the data into a temporary table which is then displayed in the region. Perfect. I now update my "real" table with an insert from the temp table. I "enter" data by using "edit using formname" because the dummy table has one row and the EEP adds the data from the variables to the temp table without ever changing the data in the dummy table.
