>>In keeping with the RAD methodology, I decided to finally use the grid wizard and built a many to one grid in a form. Every thing seems to work fine ( as a matter of fact I was kinda impressed).

WHen I try to trace this through the Debugger, it gets to the point where I have to select an item from the column combobox and then immediately gives me the message. THe file being used is definitely Locked (as per the debugger). What's going on? I've spent many hours trying to resolve this issue. Can sure use some help.

>It's extremely difiicult to say by sure, but there some points: firstly, if you use buffering (and even if you don't use it) then you don't need in either FLOCK() or RLOCK(). You may probably check that you do have SET MULTILOCKS ON (normally it sets automatically when you set buffering in DE). Also, it's dangerous way to use grid's builder. It's quick but results are often unstable.

Thanks Ed,

I figured out that the solution was that I could only enter the grid through the Wizard Buttonset Edit function. That displayed the grid properly.
Thanks for your help.
