Dennis,

Views are always buffered and you can't make them not buffered. That means that for views you must use TableUpdate and tablerevert, so it makes sense to get used to it now.

Using buffering makes life very easy once you understand it. You can bind your controls directly to field in the table or view and still control what gets written and when.

You can use INSERT INTO is you like, but that requires that you have your data ready first, with buffering you can simply append blank when the user wants to add a record and then either save it (TableUpdate) or reject it (TableRevert) later. You don't have to wrestle with variable scoping, the rules in the database fire automatically for you.

It seems to me that to not use buffering is to do things the hard way.
