Hi Andrew
Now that you mention it, I too crashed GridView 8.1A when trying to create a view with a filter, but because it was a date query filter, there was no way to re-create the filter - the view would crash before I could even load it. At the time, I thought it was something I had done, but now I realize it was an 8.1A problem. I ended up starting over without the date query, and it worked. So it seems to be hit or miss.
