p.s. when checking this I came across the CREATE VIEW command (.vue files) - I do not remember ever using this, or even knowing it existed - anyone use it?

From HackFox7: "Don't confuse CREATE SQL VIEW with the lame Xbase

CREATE VIEW, which attempts to save all current environmental settings to a VUE file."

I recall using it in the FoxBase/Fox1/2 days to save and restore from the command line when working interactively with databases and relations. They were opaque: there wasn't a way to see what was stored within them. But it's a legacy "Don't Do That" command for the past 25 years or so.
