>What happens is that the DELETE command fails saying that the record is in use by another user -- But this is a temporary cursor that I created and am the only one using -- I don't understand how the record/file could be "locked" by another user.

Yeah, i admit this is a nasty one. I think that if you get the focus off the Grid before you delete the record, might solve your problem:

THISFORM.SomeTextBox.SetFocus
DELETE
THISFORM.Grid.Setfocus

Simular trouble occurs when your cursor is positioned in the grid, in a field with a validation and you try to insert a record.

I would recommend alway to get the focus of the grid when Appending or deleting records.


Hope this helps.
