David,

Dump the browse, you are fighting an uphill battle. You say you want quick and cheap fix, well using a form is that quick and cheap fix. Trying to get a browse to behave in VFP is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

Make a form. Put in a grid with 1 column. Right click the form and choose data environment, right click there and add the table for your form.

Set the record source for your grid to the table and set the controlsource for the column to the field you want displayed in the grid. Now put textboxes on the right and set their controlsources to the other fields you want from the same table.

Double click on the grid and select the AfterRowColCange event from the combo on the upper right of the code editor. In there type Thisform.Refresh().

Close the form designer and run the form. Is that what you want?
