Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, it is that simple. A basic "Select * from vwMyView" yields an updatable recordset. Adding "Order by Name" to the end does not allow an update. I should mention that the error associated with the lack of update is: "Insufficient Key Column Information for Updating or Refreshing" I have since futhered my troubleshooting and determined that I actually AM able to update the recordset when the order by is applied in some situations. Apparently, I can order by any field that is in the view's main table (the table that all of the other tables left join off of) and still be able to update. It is when I order by a field that is not from this main table that I get the above error and inability to update. I am still at a loss as to how to fix this so that I can order by any field I wish. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Travis Eland

Cc: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: ORDER BY making recordset non-updatable Maybe I'm thick.... You have a view, called vwMyView. You SELECT rows from it, and you're able to update the view? Yet when you SELECT with an ORDER BY clause, you're not allowed to update the view? I just do not understand how a read statement affects DML. I think you're going to have to post the query you're using, as it's more complex than a SELECT. Perhaps you're using a REPLACE INTO .... SELECT statement? Or UPDATE .... WHERE .... IN (SELECT....)? -Sheeri On 4/19/06, Eland, Travis M. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Heya. > > I am in the process of modifying a program to access data from a MySQL > database instead of a SQL Server database.
