>>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

I made the assumption of a relation between parent and child table where the record pointer would be at the first child record that needs deleting. *Delete for child.key = parent.key* should be just as efficient since you have an index on the child key. I got in the habit of *delete next 1* when I started writing multi-user code because of implicit record locking. It also reaffirms to me that I am only wanting to explicitly delete the current record and not move the record pointer. I do not think it makes a difference in your case.
