SYSTEM - Creating New Views on ManEx Data

Information on Creating New Views in ManEx Data.

If the user is using Crystal Report or another third party report creator they can create what ever they need using that software.  If however the user wants to create a view using VFP in the ManEx DBC, then they will have a problem because everytime new DBC's are released the new DBC's will remove their view. 

Another solution would be to create a completely new DBC container and use ManEx tables to create views that the user needs.  Make sure that the views are not updatable (this is very important) and be sure to name them with some kind of prefix to avoid confusion with the same name in the manEx DBC's.  Then if ManEx changes the structure the user would have to manually update their views.
