AFAIK, the buffermode property only applies to tables and views opened by the form. If they are already open, or you open them manually, that property does not affect those.

>Your response to Chuck reminded me of a problem I had awhile ago. I created an instance of a (new)form based on a form class in which I had the default data session. I was expecting the newly instantiated form to inherit the data environment from the (old)form (i.e. private-datasessioned) that contained the CreatObject command. But it turned out that the tables already open in the (old) form are not accessible from within the (new) form.
