I'm sure I will learn and adopt many new techniques as I crawl out of the newbie stage :) I just thought that this would be a trivial task for a grid. In FPW or FPD I could easily construct a browse that contained fields from child tables. I know the grid is far more advanced that a browse - I just thought an invoice detail grid that displays a part's description from a products table would be child's play. Then again, I haven't crawled to the level of VFP child yet :)

>As long as you're learning about VFP look at views instead of tables. After learning about those perhaps you'll change your mind and use them in your forms instead of tables. I'm still working with VFP7 (getting soon to VFP9) so there's a thing I know nothing about and it's called a cursor adapter. You should study that too. It looks very interesting.
