Re: [INTERFACES] ODBC: OID column in views

I have a problem similar about RowVersioning.
If I link a view with RowVersioning checked M$Access show the following message, when I
try to open the table:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error while executing the query.
ERROR: system column xmin not available - table_name is a view (#1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
