VFE style if need be, immediately after locking the screen, add a new textbox to the parent, move it to -2000, -2000, >set focus to it, do your grid thing, remove the textbox, set focus to the grid (with maybe a GO to appropriate record - same one as before, if >possible), then unlock screen and... did it work?

Tamar, in a contrary approach, don't do grid.refresh() but grid.setfocus(), this helped me in some situations, when refresh() seemed not to do anything.

I'd try setting grid.allowcellselection = .f. during the data refresh, then set it back to .t. and setfocus() to the grid.
