>>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?

>the grid is one of the most complicated objects in VFP because it has many options so don't be discouraged :)
>anyway if the gird is bound to a table/view etc. and the record moves in that table (in the same data session) th grid will reflect the move
>u might need to refresh the grid though

And don't forget that if something doesn't work like it says in the manual, don't worry, it's not a bug... it's a feature... :-)
About books, I would like to recommend a CD! :-)
Mastering Visual FoxPro. It has some great solutions and helped me a lot.
