Mark, I have used VFP's table buffering in very, very complex situations with no problems once you get your head around its workings and the effects on others of transactions and buffering.
Mix it in with transactions /rollback and I can't really think of any situations where it wouldn't work successfully. Maybe you could let us know more about your application design and the group members could help you out as I'm sure that what you see as VFP's shortfalls are merely due to not understanding its capabilities..

Ok, not completely, but it would appear not to do the job it's meant for in anything but very simple situations.
