Explicitly refresh the grid by
Thisform.Refresh()
Thisform.Grid1.Refresh()

This will do.

>I have a need to format a date field that I display in a grid in a special format (e.g Thu Sep 3, 1998). I can do this in a textbox that is not part of a grid by putting code in the REFRESH method to set the value of the textbox to the desired string. For example, if the field in the table is called StartDate, and I have a function FormatDate that does the proper formating, then in refresh, I put this.value=FormatDate(StartDate) and all is well. However, this does NOT seem to work in a textbox in a grid. In fact, the refresh method of the textbox does not appear to get called at all.
