>I'm having trouble understanding the new TABLEUPDATE() in VFP 5.0. If I read the help screen correctly, there is no way to TABLEUPDATE all rows unless Buffering is set to Optimistic or Pessimistic Table; i.e., if Row Buffering is enabled, I can only save changes made to the current record.

if i remember correctly, that's the way it was in 3.0 also. tableupdate updates only the current record if row buffering (pess or opt) is set, updates the table if table buffering is set.
