My setting focus to the grid after adding an item has solved a part of my problem, however when I delete an item the problem still persists. Let me elaborate - I'm using a grid recordsource - child table ( form optimistic buffering, private data session ). I'm using cmdbuttons for adding/deleting items. Now when I add a new item & then press the delete button the item is still displayed in the grid ( I'm setting some default values ). I think that as this is the last row in the grid on refreshing only take place to the row above as this record has been deleted! What I think I need is a method to totally blank out the grid and refresh it! Any ideas will be greatly be appreciated as I've not been able to create a one-to-many entry form.
