    Need to create view with no outer joins so I can index the view.

    I can't find a restriction for indexed views that involves outer joins http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191432.aspx. Are you sure that's the reason? and that's what you need?

    OUTER JOINS have a very specific function and can't be really replaced by something else without changing the results (OUTER APPLY is similar but I don't believe it'll solve your problem).
