The fact that Detail is being updated properly. Moving through mt_Master is accomplished by a commands that look like skip in mt_master
go top in mt_master and so on
The grids refresh properly. As they are pviews, the only thing that happens is:
requery(grid.RecordSource)
grid.refresh()

Records are added to detail both interactively and programatically, never mentioning Master but only mt_Master.

Do you think that we actually got, at last, a programming language that doesn't do what we tell it to do but what we actually want to do?. If this were the case I would forgive all the bugs and features by design in the langauge.

Thanks for your interest.
