You're in trouble, since until the table is updated from the buffer, the data in the buffer is available only to the working instance of the data. The buffer applies to the work area; multiple work areas that have the same file opened aren't able to see changes in another instance's buffer until they're committed to the table and the instance is requeried.

If that weren't the case, a TABLEUPDATE() of one instance's buffers would commit the data from all instances of that table in use at the same time, with potentially disasterous consequences. TABLEUPDATE() scopes to a single USE statement.
