I always force the update because in this case there's rarely a conflict and last one to save should win. If I move off the record and there is a problem, what will happen? Will I get an error? Will it force it? Will it just not save?

Thanks,

I usually use Row buffering when the user is working with a single record at a time and table buffering when I want the user to be able to modify multiple records between saves.
