>The AllowAddNew property simply means that when you are on the last record in the grid and you press the down arrow, a new record is added. This is good for "heads down" data entry. To add a record to the grid programatically, just APPEND BLANK (or use the INSERT INTO command) and then call the grid's Refresh method (THISFORM.MYGRID.REFRESH). You can put a button on the form to add a new record to the grid and one to delete records.

>As for Tore's advice about not using grids for input, I'd have to strongly disagree with that. You hear that sometimes, even from some of the supposed gurus. I think it's very possible to use grids for input and it is a much more intuitive way of allowing input for things like invoice line items, etc. I've been doing it since VFP 5 with no significant problems and this has been in applications with anywhere from 5 users to 80 users.

Russel,

Me too, I use grids for input. I use a local cursor with no buffering. Once everything is tested locally (the cursor), I wrap the table updates in a transaction

Works fine
