>This is buffering, just not VFP's built in buffering. You are letting the user work on a copy of the data that is not the actual table, so it is buffered. This is how a lot of C/S apps work- any that use SQLPT for data retrieval are doing the same thing that you are.

In part, this was what I was going for: functionality comparable to C/S apps or apps that use SQLPT.

Thanks.
