The views are in buffer mode 5 unless we are indexing them, in which case they are in 5.

I've come back to this problem after a long time. I now remeber what the problem is.

I have fields named after a foxpro reserved word - "desc" & "selected".

Change the name and the problem goes away.

Thank you for your help.

>Don first thing that you need to check is if the table/cursor is in table bufferring mode try doing the following put a button in the form and on the click event do a set step on in the vfp the select the data session where the table/cursor is located on the command window do wait window TRAN(cursorgetprop('buffering', tablealias)) the value show must be 5 of 4 as optimistic or pessimistic table burrering.
