But the grid shows nothing. If I come back from the debugging tool, this seems to force a refresh of the grid and my records display.

When that is done, I fire a refresh of the entire page e.g. this code is in the grid:

>I do this because there are a bunch of buttons associated with the grid that also need their .Refresh() fired as what's in the grid determines their enabled state.

I am going to insert a refresh of the grid itself just before the .Parent.Refresh() for the page to see if this helps and load that on the customer's server.

Have you tried fiddling with the the SET REFRESH values?
although the help says it affects BROWSE but doesn't mention grid, it might still affect grids as well (I've not confirmed if it does or not however).
