Don't forget to SET MULTILOCKS ON before you set buffering. I open all tables in the form's dataenvironment. In the BeforeOpenTables event I call this function in the application start up program:
FUNCTION SetLocalEnvironment(tlExclusive) As VOID IF NOT tlExclusive SET EXCLUSIVE OFF ELSE SET EXCLUSIVE ON ENDIF SET DELETED ON SET DATE BRITISH SET CENTURY ON SET HOURS TO 24 SET CURRENCY TO "£" SET COLLATE TO "GENERAL" SET MULTILOCKS ON && Essential for Buffering SET TALK OFF SET SECONDS OFF SET ANSI ON SET NULLDISPLAY TO "?"
