>>0 None. No buffering is done.
>>1 (Default) Use form Setting. Uses the BufferMode property set at the form or form set level.
>>2 Pessimistic row buffering. Locks the record and buffers the changes until the record pointer moves. You can use TABLEREVERT( ) to undo your changes.
>>3 Optimistic row buffering. Allows edits to a single record and locks the record only when it is written to disk. You can use TABLEREVERT( ) to undo your changes.
>>4 Pessimistic table buffering. Locks each record edited, but records are not written to disk until TABLEUPDATE( ) is called. You can use TABLEREVERT( ) to undo your changes.
>>5 Optimistic table buffering. Allows edits to all records and does not lock them until the records are written to disk with TABLEUPDATE( ). You can use TABLEREVERT( ) to undo your changes.

This sure looks like a Help bug. Please post it on Connect.
