Actually I have grid display child records. The user clicks on a command button to make a new entry, this append a child record ( the field linking child & parent is set ) and set focus to a series of text boxes where the user actually enters the data. I find that after 2/3 entries the value don't display in the grid ( after each text box I'm refreshing the grid ). In this case do I have to set focus to the grid and then move to the next text box all the time ?
