Views are always buffered by default (and actually I don't know if there is a way to use an unbuffered one). I never experienced :

ll_success= cursorsetprop("buffering", 5, "my_view")

return .F.
Updating OTOH is another thing and there might be several reasons for it to fail. In documentation there is a good section for it (as I remember Creating views or something like that)
