>I spend 1-3 days learning to use each control. The documentation is very lacking for me. My latest chalange is the 3 days I have spend on using a grid. In the Tsmanian Traders example they have what I want to do with their Customer form, and Employee. Page1 of a pageframe contains text boxes that allow data entry in all fields of a record. Page 2 contains a grid that shows all the records. When you click on a record in the grid, page1 changes immediately to that record. I cannot find out how they do it!. In my use the data on page1 never changes no matter what I do to the grid. How do I do it? Also I want to buy a relly good book that discusses each control in great depth showing how to use the properties/methods. I bought "Usong Visual Foxpro 3" published by Que, but it is only partially useful. Any suggestions?

'Magic' data refreshment is usually due to the idea that controls BOUND to data source. In your example you can check RecordSource property for whole grid and/or ControlSource properties for columns/controls. Difficulty in learning of VFP depends on previous Foxpro background (Fox is very old but some old things are still in use). When I started to learn VFP, I just read the manual, and it was perfectly enough. Anyway I am sure that MS Manuals should be the primary source for VFP (and not only VFP) learning.
