Hello,

I have been programming in FPW 2.6 forever. Howeverb we finally started
working on converting our application to VFP 7.0.

I am merely taking a test drive in order to get familar with VFP.

I have a form with a grid. The grid has been created by dragging the
table from the datasession into the form.

When I keep the 'buffer mode' to 'Pessimistic' and data session to
private, any change I make in the data in the grid, is not being saved.

However if I keep the 'Buffer mode' to '0 - None' and Data session
private, the changes I make to the data in the Grid is saved.

Am I suppose to do some kind of a 'Committ' or 'TableUpdate' to save
the data when buffer mode is set to pessimistic.

I guess I am not too sure when I would use 'pessimistic' or 'none' as
buffer mode.

in fact, I think you have two ways of working :

1) leave VFP do the work as yo started using buffering modes

2) use views. I am a fan of views. Instead of thinking 'how VFP will handle
this or this', you have full commands on them : tableupdate, tablerevert,
requery, ..... Note that your tables have NOT to be in a database but you
must create one database at least to have a place where to save your views.
