Randy,

Once buffering is set up you use TableUpdate() to post changes to the table and TableRevert() to revert the user's changes back to what they were before the edit. So the code in the Click event of a Save Button might something like;

IF TheDataIsValid
   IF NOT TableUpdate(1,.F.,"TheAlias")
       Do somet hing about the update failing
   ENDIF
ELSE
   Tell the user there is a problem with the data
ENDIF

And in the Cancel button;

TableRevert(.T.,"TheAlias")
Thisform.Refresh()

Be sure to read the help file on both TableUpdate and TableRevert to understand what the arguments are for.
