>I have found in VFP5 the following buggy behavior: RecordSourceType for the grid is Alias. I invoke some code during an event, such as a RightClick on an object in a grid column (e.g., a textbox). For example, the RightClick event might be:

Not sure about this but I had lots of problems using alias in VFP 3.0 grids if the workspace was > 225. I had to open all aliases in grids in
workspaces < 225 to get them to work without problems.
