I guess the end-result behaviour I am looking for (as you mentioned) is having an update-able view behave exactly as if it were a table in regard to update and delete statements. (Delete statements had a similar behavior behaviour, but I got around that problem by using "delete cascade" on the leaf tables.) Regards, Richard Broersma Jr.
