we start off with an empty table and a grid form.

To add a record to the grid, the user hits the 'add/edit' button and this runs a form which lets them add a record and enter the data with the all the space they need and the validation I can put on a form much more easily than in a grid.

However, when the form is closed and we return to the grid form, all we see is a blank record. (so at least it 'knows' that we've added one - it just won't show the values)

The debugger tells me that we have successfully added the record and that its values are as entered.

This despite doing a [jgrid.recordsource='' ] BEFORE running the add/edit form and a
[jgrid.recordsource="journal" ] and a form refresh, after the add/edit form has done its thing...

so why no show?
