>I have a simple grid tied to a table and a command button to delete the current record. If I just mark the record as DELETEd, the grid shows the record as marked. However, if I issue a PACK, the grid immediately disappears. It does not matter whether I am removing the record or keeping others.

When you PACK the file, the grid loses its RecordSource and thus appears blank. It´s better to use SET DELETED ON, and to try to reuse deleted records for new insertions. (In our framework, before adding a record we look for a deleted one, and we RECALL it; this prevents the table from growing too much.)
