I have a multi-user vfp application and I'm throwing away my "old style" record locking and updating techniques and trying my hand at VFP's new buffering. I have several forms and want to initiate different buffering modes for some of these forms. I am using data environment buffering overide, but when I switch between forms the buffering mode doesn't change to the settings in the buffermodeoverride of the active form. Is there a way to assure that the buffering mode sets to the value of buffermodeoverride of the active form. When the form is instantiated it appears to switch fine, but if the form is already opened and then it becomes the active form, the buffering mode won't change to the active forms buffermodeoverride setting. Any help on this is greatly appreciated! Thank You.
