The only way I know how to make two VFP exes "talk" to each other is by sharing information in a table. I don't doubt that there are ways to do it better, but I don't know them.

With this in mind and assuming that the second exe can replicate the recordsource for the grid in the first exe.........

The afterRowColumnChange method in the grid in the first exe can write its ActiveRow and Relative Row to a table the second exe can read. The second exe could do something like

SELECT infotable
lnActiveRow = nActiveRow
lnRelativeRow = nRelativeRow

SELECT (mygrid.recordsource)
GOTO lnActiveRow - lnRelativeRow + 1

myGrid.refresh

It probably needs some tweaking (especially if there are filters and/or indexes on the recordsource) and is completely untested but I think that should make the two grids display the same set of records.

If not (and I certainly wouldn't be surprised to find it doesn't) I hope somebody else can come with something useful for you. I'll be interested in better solutions.

Good Luck...........Rich
