1 - I cannot guarantee the database that I will be using. Customer requirements and all that other rot. 2 - On one of my projects I currently have a logical object that loads through a single view but requires an insert into multiple tables to instantiate the logical object and I cannot do an insert through the view. 3 - I'm not the DBA. I'm not qualified to be a DBA on anything but simplistic projects and this is less than simplistic so I just go with what I'm given. And sometimes the views are not able to be updated. rjsjr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
