Chris,
If I understand your form correctly, you are wanting a one-to-many relationship between your invoice control record and the invoice details. The grid displaying the child records (the detail) displays all details with the same invoice no. as its parent. To add a blank record requires that you insert a record in the bound table and that record have the invoice number. Consequently, if you want to have several blank detail rows displaying in the child grid, those records must all have the invoice number in them. You can insert multiple records into the cursor and not have them updated to the table if you SET MULTILOCKS ON and =CURSORSETPROP("BUFFERING","tablename",5).
