>I have set the application up using remote views to a dbc. Consequently I am not setting indexes (trying to minimize form initiation time) so to provide relationships in the data I have set filters in the data environment (filtering the "child" files on the "parent" id). This seems to be working fine, the grid populates with the correct data, but I wind up with the grid scrolled up and the last record is the active row. I have tried moving the record pointer and using activitecell but putting this in the form, page or grid refresh keeps me from being able to navigate in the grid, every time the refresh fires it pushes the pointer to the top. Appreciate any ideas... Thanks Jeff

It seems that you repeat your initial post. Did you try GO TOP?
Also, what's the reason to use remote views from VFP front-end against VFP DBC?
