| 3 | Optimistic row buffering. Allows edits to a single record and locks the record only when it is written to disk. You can use TABLEREVERT( ) to undo your changes. |
| 4 | Pessimistic table buffering. Locks each record edited, but records are not written to disk until TABLEUPDATE( ) is called. You can use TABLEREVERT( ) to undo your changes. |

Remarks
If the cursor is based on a local or remote view, the only BufferModeOverride settings available are 3 and 5. If the form set or form's BufferMode property is set to 1 (Pessimistic), the default setting for BufferModeOverride is 3 (Optimistic row buffering) for cursors based on views.
