One of them gets backed up that way twice a week on a schedule and the other two, less important ones, when I feel like unplugging the external drive and connecting it via USB to one of the other machines. That is strictly for backup purposes, not to transfer the drive on one machine to a drive on a different machine. I would expect a lot of driver headaches that way.

Someone -- Jim Booth? -- aptly called grids "the devil's own control." I remember how excited many of us were when VFP gave us something to replace Browse windows, which were pretty devilish themselves when used in an application. (In fairness, I think Browse was originally intended to be a simple table viewing tool for developers; it was trying to get them to play well with other windows where the problems came in). Grids are without question more powerful and more fully featured, but also probably even harder to completely control. Trying to implement an updatable grid and having every event everywhere in the grid's object hierarchy be handled correctly is not for the faint of heart.

So anyway, good luck. If you didn't finish work on the problem today, here's hoping it will be one of those that gets fixed in an hour in the morning.
