Myron,
Thanks for the additional and that makes sense. But I'm not willing to introduce the complexity of another layer buffering into these child forms.
>I believe that if you have a view and its table with buffering and you make a change to the view that the change is made to the view's buffer. Then if you do a specific TABLEUDPATE on the view that the view's buffer is committed to the table's buffer. Only when you do a TABLEUDPATE on the table does the table's buffer get committed.
