MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a program file named Remoview.prg, using the following code:

  CREATE DATA testa
  CREATE TABLE tablea (fld1 c(10), fld2 c(10))
  CREATE TABLE tableb (fld1 c(10), fld3 c(10))

  CLOSE ALL

  CREATE DATA testb
  CREATE CONNECTION connect1 CONNSTRING 'DRIVER={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};' + ;
     'Exclusive=No;SourceType=DBC;SourceDB='+SYS(5)+SYS(2003)+'\TESTA.DBC'

  CREATE SQL VIEW innersql REMOTE CONNECTION connect1 ;
     AS SELECT * ;
     FROM testa!tablea tablea JOIN testa!tableb tableb ;
     ON tableb.fld1 = tablea.fld1

  CREATE SQL VIEW leftsql REMOTE CONNECTION connect1 ;
     AS SELECT * ;
     FROM testa!tablea tablea LEFT JOIN testa!tableb tableb ;
     ON tableb.fld1 = tablea.fld1

  CREATE SQL VIEW rightsql REMOTE CONNECTION connect1 ;
     AS SELECT * ;
     FROM testa!tablea tablea RIGHT JOIN testa!tableb tableb ;
     ON tablea.fld1 = tableb.fld1

  MODI VIEW innersql
  MODI VIEW leftsql
  MODI VIEW rightsql

2. Save and run the program file.

3. When the View Designer opens for the "innersql" remote view, press the CTRL+W
  keys and note the error message that appears.

4. When the View Designer opens for the "leftsql" remote view, click File, then
  click Save from the main Visual FoxPro menu and note the error message that
  appears.

5. When the View Designer opens for the "rightsql" remote view, click File, then
  click Save As from the main Visual FoxPro menu and note the error message
  that appears after entering a view name and pressing OK.
