>I have a multi-user app that I am just now starting to use buffering on. In my main form I use the DE to set the buffermodeoverride property to (opt 3) and I have been succesful in updating an resloving user collisions, however, from within this form I do call several prgs that update my tables (from a menu selection) with either sql or the update command. Since this updating procedure is oputside of the form
>is it necessary to use the tableupdate() command to write changes to the table or will it update even though the form I just came from is set to (opt 3). The updates appear to be working, but I want to assure that I dont need to disable buffering first in the main form. Also, I am currentlu using default data session, but I will be changing that as soon to private data session. (lots to learn)

Hi John,

TableUpdate() will ONLY work if you have buffering set on. By definition, this command saves the buffered records to your tables.

Good Luck,
