Yes, UPDATE_COMMAND_UI message handlers are used to enable/disable
toolbar buttons and menu commands. But you have said that under some
condition the updates do just what you want. So there must be update
handlers somewhere.

But what do I write in there?

Are you deriving from CRecordView?

Yeah, sort of...it is actually COleDBRecordView.

This is vital information that you did not supply in previous posts. I used
'Find in Files' to search the MFC source code for COleDBRecordView. It has
the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI message handlers that have been mystifying you.
(If you don't have the MFC source code installed, get your setup CD and run
it again and select that option.)

If you do not provide your own ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI message handlers in your
view this means that the code in COleDBRecordView will enable/disable the
toolbar buttons. If you want to change the way enable/disable works start
by looking at the OnUpdate... code in COleDBRecordView. Then put similar
code in your view, which will override the inherited handlers.
