John,

It may make sense in YOUR mind not to buffer the source table for an updateable view (ie "double buffer"), but. . .
1) in a multi-table view, just where would the data come from?. . .
2) what makes you so sure that VFP doesn't do so???

I've got to believe that it, in fact, DOES "double buffer" view data. More fuel to the need for more documentation on this topic.

Cheers,
