>>>I just ran into an odd problem. I have a form with the BufferMode set to Optimistic. I have a view that I use in this form. If I pull a record from the view and make changes to that record, the changes should not be commited until I do a TableUpdate, no? For some reason the changes are being commited without me ever issuing a TableUpdate.

False, view is just temporary storage to automate updating of underlying tables, i.e. from data standpoint the only thing you 'update' is table(s). Row buffering assumes automatic table record update when pointer is moved off the record.
