Jim, I am running simple select statements against views; I am not inserting into them or anything unusual like that. Also, my earlier comment re attach database was a red herring. I hit the "statement aborts" without that.
Lastly, to be clear, the "SQLite error (17): statement aborts..." is debug output that I see in Visual Studio. No actual error is thrown, though it is of course disconcerting. Thank you. Vince Scafaria
