>>>>When working with grid, you're working with the underlying cursor (the one from the RecordSource). So, if 3 records are populated, the 7 others probably have nothing in one of the key fields. You can use it as your criteria.

>3. The spec calls for a button on the form that says 'Select all'. I then need to loop thru all the records that are being displayed to change the underlying field to .t., no? So I'm not changing JUST the active record. So again - How do I know which records to go to?

2. If this is a logical field, make sure that the value of your checkbox is set to .f. (and not 1)

3. If you want to Select all records that have some values, then

replace LogicalField with .T. for SomeOtherField <> space(10) in GridCursor && Make sure the record is not completely empty
