Martin,
Actually I did think about it, but I don't believe that is the ideal strategy to use. The tables within "multiple tables" will change quite often. (i.e. new customer decides to start sending us data which populates that table, or customers descides to stop sending data). In such a situation, the view would have to be re-created to include the new tables or exclude the removed one, correct? Other suggestions?
