Same as before.

Yes, and amazingly, this happens on first record only. For some reason the grid doesn't like the first record being touched.
I could put an inactive record (ie. one I can tell the user (myself) to never touch...) as the first one. Not a solution but a sign that there's a missing lid on this manh... personhole.

>- Are you running this on actual Windows, or on WINE?

wine.

>- If it's WINE, what's providing the SMB/CIFS protocol for VFP? Is it Samba?

No clue, never looked. I'd guess the former, as I never finished configuring the latter, so it would be half-baked, not on defaults and not set up. I actually gave up on in-house networking, when any technological advance is doubly set back by clashing protocols changes targeting security. So instead of once frizbee network I use thumbdrive-in-pocket-and-walk-over.
