Eric,

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of using 'buffering'?
If I update the table then I can't do a revert and I have undo the users changes via code.

>>I have a grid in VFP5 which uses a free table (alias) as its source.
>>The buffer override is '5' - optimistic table buffering.
>>This alias is opened in the environment with an order.
>>One of my command buttons on the same form is 'move down' which basically moves this record down and the following record up in the grid. This is done by replacing a field on both records which is also the order of the table.
>>I have tried refreshing the grid and the form, however, the grid is still displayed in the original sequence. I know that the records have actually switched position because I have browsed the table in the command button.
>>When I modify the buffer modem override in the environment to '0' - no buffering, the data in the grid is displayed properly.
>>Thank you for any assistance.
