The manipulation of the grid recordsource is basically a 'just in case' which shouldn't occur. I check to see if the recordsource is incorrect and set it only if it is. I set the recordsource in another method which does the query and sets it and then calls the grid refresh.


>You should use Grid.Setfocus instead of Refresh to show grid records (refresh works in 99% cases, setfocus- always). Another hint, if relevant, no manipulations with grid recordsource should be done when focus is on grid.

>>>>I have a form with a pageframe and 3 pages. On page two is a grid which displays records in a table. There are fields on page2 which display all of the values in the current row in the grid. A new record can be added to the table on page2 by keying a value in a field on page1. When a value is keyed into a field on page 1, a routine steps through the table and looks for a matching record. If one is not found, then the record is added. The grid on page2 is then refreshed. In the refresh method of the grid, the grid's recordsource is set and all of the other properties of the grid as well. The recordsource is set to '' first, then to the table, then all of the columns' properties are set. Then the dodefault is run. If more than one record already exists in the table when the new record is added, then the grid refreshes fine. However, if there were no records and this is the first record being added, then I can see the fields on page2 populated correctly, but no record shows
