Hi Sylvain,

Thanks for the information. I was under the impression that buffering = 5 meant that you would tie up the whole table while you were saving an edited record. I was thinking that would be bad when using a huge DB where you might have multiple users editing records at the same time, although not necessarily the exact same record at the exact same time. I am quite certain the people I am working for will not let me even think of using buffering = 5. They don't like me using any buffering, but I am anyway. They are really afraid of buffering and its record/table locking and update conflict issues in a multi-user environment. I will also keep reading and see if I can make sense of all this buffering stuff. And I will rethink and consider your buffering = 5 suggestion. Thanks again.
