Yes lRefreshInForm is true. I just noticed something else. Even the Save button on the toolbar is not enabled when I change a value in the Grid????? Does the buffermodeoverride make a difference? I use 5 for table optimistic. Is there something on the form I should be setting? I just let Codemine create me another form and added a table to the data environment and added a grid and set the record source and column's controlsource and added the same button and it does the same thing. Also, the toolbar save button does not work either. I make sure the initialselectalias is set to the table. I'm lost at what could be going on. The navigation buttons work on the toolbar. I put those commands in the refresh of the button and it goes thru a bazillion lines of code and I was unable to find out where the enable of the button was being set false or not being set true. Sorry.

>>I created a form with a table in the data environment and I have a grid where I allow data entry. All of that works fine with the toolbar. I decided I needed to put a button on the form that would allow me to click and save the data when I choose to instead of moving to the toolbar. I dropped a cmdtoolactionbuttonsave on the form. It is never enabled even when I change data or put new data in. What am I missing? TIA. I did try setting cworkarea to the table to no avail.
