Here I am replaying to myself :-). Am I gunna get spanked for that?
Anyway, the culprit for the above problem is....
The child grid is in a page frame. The activate event of the page does a

THIS.grd1.setfocus

If I take that out the grid displays normally.
Why do I want a grid.setfocus in the activate event of a page - simple, it forces the record mark to appear on the grid so the user knows where they are.
Any comments??
