>Well, first of all, I don't apply restrictions to my forms very often, I believe that's what we have the .DBC for;

I agree completely.

I guess I just don't understand what you mean by "edit mode." If you use buffered tables, nothing happens to the table until TableUpdate, at which point, the DBC rules kick in. It still seems that you're comparing buffered views to unbuffered tables, in which case, I agree that using views would be preferable. But why not just use buffered tables?

I wasn't talking about your specific case, but the general case of whether VFP developers as a whole should always use views.
