You could find an answer in the help by buffer. In short buffer stored qvd's have a temporary character for a certain app and normal stored qvd's are a method to store data in a long term.

Actually, you can mimic a Buffer LOAD in your script yourself by creativelly writing, checking and reading your own QVDs. As Marcus explained, your own code offers more flexibility and a solution in the long term (and for multiple documents at the same time, meaning that you have to update your QVDs only once to have multiple QVWs use them next).

A Buffer load is shorter (less typing) and transparant, but cannot be applied to every situtation like a STORE can.

Best,
