Re: For update

Hello,

Huh, it was weeks ago, and I thought it was normal. It was a simple view
with one or two inner joins and without aggragates. Perhaps somebody could
try it. I got an error message, that said I cannot do that. I cannot
remember the exact message unfortunately.

Best Regards,
Otto
