Ok, that's good.

Now, what exactly you're using for your second grid that depends on the ContactID value? Is it a view, CA or a local cursor? If it's a local cursor, you need to do it like this

zap in myLocalCursorForSecondGrid
insert into myLocalCursorForSecondGrid select * from myTables where ContactID = m.lcContactID
thisform.mySecondGrid.refresh()


That's all.
