Bruce,

I've never tried a parent-child-grandchild two grid form before. As Mike said this may not work because of the issue of only being able to have one InitialSelectedAlias for the parent and not having the same thing for the child to grandchild link.

I'd really setup two parameterized views, one for the child and one for the grandchild, and depending on how you let them navigate the child recs just Requery("grandchild") and grdGrandChild.Refressh()

Again I have no problems using two tables especially when one of them is the initial selected alias but using three wheer the second parent is the child of the initial selected alias is defeating me. I have tried concatenated fields with and without alltrims and still can't seem to get anywhere. I suppose I could try an updatable parametrized view but I will probably try that last.
