>>>I am wondering,
>>>if the application accesses a database on a network drive, the form has buffer mode set to "optimistic table buffering", are new records appended buffered on the network drive or in a temporary file on the workstation ??

I _was_ able to see the new record before tableupdate was issued. This sort of cloudied things up for me a bit as far as table buffering goes. I would like to know the gory details also.


That worked ok for me. The browse view didn't show me the new records I was adding in my form until I clicked my save button which does the tableupdate.
