APex doesn't even sell True DBgrid 4.0 anymore. AS I said to Guy..we Fox people are really spoiled. Imagine 2 lines of code that do exactly what I want to do:

Use myfile in 0
Browse
Oh well...gotta get on with my life. Thanks for your response. By the way..do you guys have Outback Steakhouses over there - or is it just a USA food chain?
