Thank you very much Barbara.

You were a big help.

>Yes, you can buffer your view, in fact, you must buffer a view. Tableupdate will send updates back to your source table (provided you've defined the view properly). You DO NO want to open the source table yourself. Let the view do that for you. If there's some reason you must open the source table, you'll want to have buffering off for that table if you can. Otherwise, you'll have to Tableupdate() the source table too.
