John,

I agree that there is not necessarily a need to buffer the table but in a complex form you may be using the table for other reasons. Normally, I will use optimistic buffering on all my tables and views. This gives me a lot of flexibility and it works well into some of my standard commit and revert utilities.

>>In my testing, it does not appear to matter if your buffering is optimistic or pessimistic. If both the view and table have buffering and you do a specific tablueupdate to your view, you then have to do a tableupdate to your table to fully commit your changes.
