The table is buffered in a way, through the Local View. Specifically, the Local View is buffered.

Maybe the question should be: "Can a LOCAL VIEW be buffered?" I have found the answer to be YES.

So, if you can buffer a local view, then why won't my TableUpdate save the appended record, just as it does any existing record's changes?

I am using CURSORSETPROP to set up buffering of a LOCAL VIEW and also TABLEUPDATE() to save any changes or updates. Is this okay? If this should work, then why won't APPENDS work?

>>I am using a buffered table and then TableUpdate() to save it. What is weird is that from all appearances and stepping through the code, the NEW record seems to be saved. However, after closing the form and re-opening the form, the newly saved record is always gone. What have I missed? Oh, also, I am using a View to present the data from two tables and saving only the data from one table on the form. I also checked the box in the Local View that says "Send SQL Updates", and then put checkmarks on the fields I wanted to be updateable.
