There isn't really any advantage to optimistic buffering. The keyword here is optimistic. Meaning you are highly optimistic that record locking won't be necessary when editing and FoxPro will only attempt to lock the record when the table is updated. The wizstyle.vcx class txtbtns detects this optimistic buffermode and prompts you to save or not. picbtns is a subclass of txtbtns so if you want to remove that funtionality, open txtbtns in your wizstyle.vcx and search for E_DIRTYREC_LOC and edit the class code to not ask the question. However, keep in mind that the mod will change every instance of picbtns in any project that uses wizstyle.vcx.

Why?
