Yes all of the controls are linked. I discovered that with pessimistic table buffering, the change to the second session isn't being accepted. It just fills in the new values from the first session. I expected a generated error. Looks like I have to check the return of TableUpdate() using this method as well.

One thing still confusion me is the multiple places the buffering mode can be set. It can be set in Tools->Options->Data. It can be set in the cursor properties and by using code. What is the precedence order?
