Generally, if you use some vcr buttons then you don't need a grid to navigate the parent records. IMHO, the way to do this would be to use 2 grids, and forget the vcr buttons. If you go this way, all you have to do is figure out which cursor is the parent, and assign it to the top grid, and that should be it. (oh, and a THISFORM.Grid2.Refresh() in grid1's AfterRowColChange event)


>Perhaps I need a some stratigites on the VCR buttons.

Generally, a vcr buttons class either uses the current alias or (my preference) has a custom property that contains the name of the alias it should act on. So all commands would look like:

GO BOTTOM IN (THIS.TargetAlias)

f you use the second approach, you can use two sets of vcr buttons on the same form, one for the parent and one for the child. But as I said earlier, if you have two grids showing your records, you don't really even need one vcr set.
