If I go out and come back in to force refresh, sometimes it's still black, sometimes it's white again. If I click on it and say "no" to the "do you want to delete" question, which just does a "nodefault", It sometimes blackens it, sometimes completely deletes the record.

Michelle:

Your code is in the right place. You need to have NoDefault at the end while deleting the child records AND the parent record in the grid. That is the only way I got this to work correctly for deleting records in a grid. Example:

if MessgeBox("Really Delete This Record?") <> 6
   NoDefault
   Return 0
endif
lnSelect = Select()
select ChildTable
delete while ChildTable.KeyID = ParentTable.KeyID
select (lnSelect)  && presumably the parent table
delete next 1
* Note: you may need to add code to move record pointer
*       off deleted record to remove it from view.
this.refresh() && refresh grid
NoDefault
