Please bear with a VFP (ver 6) newbie :) I have many years of FoxPro 2.x Win/DOS experience, but VFP is new to me.

I have a FPW 2.6 project that I converted to VFP6 (using VFP conversion tool). On one form I added a grid object, defining all the columns, their sources etc. None of the grid columns have their Read-Only property set. The grid's RecordSourceType is Alias, the RecordSource is the name of a table used in this form. Yet when I run the program the grid will not allow any editing. If I try typing into any of the text boxes, a message appears on status line "The record is read-only."

The tables are all free type tables from FPW 2.6. If I add a Browse command in the grid object's INIT event, the expected table appears and I can edit fields. Interestingly though, when I exit the browse and enter the grid - any changes I had made in the browse do not appear in the grid.

I'm guessing that the grid is using a cursor rather than the actual table? In 2.x cursors are always read-only. If this is my problem, how do I make the grid NOT read-only? Do I change the buffering mode?

TIA,

-Mike
