You can index and then set the buffering. Or have buffering 3, index and then 5. It only doesn't let you index buffering is at table level.

Init would be just fine.

What I do is to use an SQL cursor for grid and not the actual table itself (namely the LocatorGrid class from FoxyClasses). In its AfterRowColChange it simply seeks or locates the underlying table's record and refresh the controls.
