What seems to be happening is that you are inserting two records,
one during the above code and one doing the grid's AllowAddNew
event. Turn off the grid's AllowAddNew event since your program
is personally handling the insert ( AllowAddNew=.f.).

If the application is a single user application, all you do
is have to issue a

SELECT childalias
GO BOTTOM
this.parent.gridname.refresh && Your in the ADD button
to get to the last record
(your inserted record).

If the child table has a primary key, substitute the
GO BOTTOM with a LOCATE FOR childkey=m.hcildkeyIncrement.

If the child table doesn't have a primary key, you've got
code that's a little more messy. Every one of my tables
always has a primary key (single fields only) to identify
every record. It makes life wonderfully uneventful. [g]
