Steve,
I certainly agree that the data would be buffered, but bufferred does NOT (necessarily) mean unavailable! One gets the distinct impression, with nested transactions, that VFP makes certain buffers available depending on sequence of TableUpdate/Commit/access.
But distinct impressions have failed before.
good luck,
Jim N

It would also seem that what I'm seeing is how Andy Neil's article (Where the data goes to hide - Feb '98 Advisor) has it too when he states that "In a case where users report seeing differnt values in the same data source........". He doesn't really get into nested transactions but it seems to me that regardless of the level, all items within a transaction are buffered until the last END TRAN is reached. But again, I'll have to check it out with some experimenting I guess.
