I put the DODEFAULT() in there because I was trying to get the grid ARCC to set the record pointer to the correct record, so that my contactid would be the correct one and let the other code get the correct records. At the moment, it stays on the first record, so the second grid never really gets changed.

the value changes. of course I had to do wait window timeout 1 ccontact.contactid in ARCC, because it is the same clientid, but different contactids in the 1st grid.
