>I sort of tried that, except that I didn't use the form property and I didn't have the goto in the refresh of the grid. I had a save button that I tried recording record pointer doing a refresh setting focus etc. But it didn't work. Do you think if I put the goto in the refresh of the grid that it would make a difference?

No, cos then every time the grid refreshed, it would be going to the stored rec #??? Besides, I'm not sure that wouldn't replace the native behind0-the-scenes code for the method, thus disabling it (refresh is a method, not an event). No, I say put that code just after the record saving code, i.e. outside the grid., but you say you've tried that.

Is there any buffering in place on the xaction file? Is it TableUpdate()ed and at what point.

There could be a host of reasons whyt this is happening. Personally I'm surprised that you see the new record at grid bottom, if the grid is ordered on a key (it IS isn't it?)

>>>I'm having a tough time with a grid on a form. This form and grid worked fine in VFP 8 but since we moved it to VFP 9 it's not working properly. We have a screen based on an employee table with a grid that has child data in it (transactions).
>>>
>>>The transactions in the grid are ordered chronilogically and all that seems to work great. I add a record to the transactions table and no matter what date time I use it appears at the bottom of the grid. So let's say I use some date and time that should land somewhere in the middle of the data (that I would need to scroll up in the grid to find if it were in the right place). If I try to refresh it does nothing, my new record stays at the bottom. If I try to setfocus() on the grid, the grid re-orders correctly but the record pointer is still on the last record and now I have to scroll up to find my new record I just added.
