    I just want to know if using a cursersetprop() command and tableupdate(), do I need to buffer my DE tables? can I keep them at default mode? I´m brand new to this multiuser environment programming.

    CursorSetProp("Buffering", ... )  would change state of buffering from an existing state to another. If it is not already buffered, naturally CursorSetProp("Buffering", 5, "myALias" ) would turn on the table level optimistic buffering for the table. The only thing that is different is the place that buffering state is set.
    If you don't have any code that depends on buffering in between then it wouldn't matter where you set it.  


    PS: Larry would you please close all those questions you have opened. If you think you didn't get a reply yet than it is OK to keep them open but then again instaed of asking a new question continue those threads, why it didn't work for you etc.
