>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?

Make sure that your page frame is refreshing properly. I had a problem similar to this and the page just wasn't getting refreshed when I moved the record pointer in the grid.

As far as books go, Whil Hentzen's "Progamming Visual FoxPro" helped me out. Also, Drew Speedie has made some examples available that use grids, data buffering, and a couple other things. Checking these out helped me also. You can get these at www.maxlink.com

Good luck.
