>hmm so I looked at your code I always read buffering was to protect data during updating never quite got that part .Also i dont really follow your save code....nor do i trust mine

In that case the only way i could ensure that no data was saved without i wanted it done was putting a revert in the close button and upon destruction of the form now our saves dont work.:D is it because i have table revert when i close the form?

Yes, on a buffered table TABLEUPDATE saves information to a table and TABLEREVERT restores information to the original state.
