Yes, Buffers are stored in the editable table when they are created, if you have a separate table to hold the buffers, and that's a good idea, then the buffer table must exactly match the structure of the point table, including field order. When you buffer, check the aggregation box, and be sure that all fields are set to VALUE. Depredating on the version of MI you have, the aggregation dialog may allow you to specify which fields from one table will up date which field in the other. However, if the data types and field sizes don't match, you will not have good luck.

Specifically, I have geocoded a number of bank branches. I want to create a .25 mile buffer around each. I want these buffer polygons to have the data associated with the point from which they were created. The buffers I have created appear to be empty polygons. Any ideas would be appreciated.
