I understand table buffering well enough but it breaks down quickly when using parent-child-grandchild-etc tables with forms. Then you are faced with having to save the record somehow to revert it without actually calling tablerevert. What is a good strategy to do this?

1. Scatter to memory... object... array?
2. Copy the record to a temp table?


Then should I bind the actual fields to the controls and copy the data back to the table if I need to revert or should I bind to whatever I scatter to and copy the scatter vars back to the table in the need to save?
