Depending upon what you're doing with INV2, it may be necessary to programitcly set the recordsources for each column in the grid. I've had this behavior when I've used temorary cursors. What was happening in my case is that I did a create cursor in the init event. Then the user clicked on a button and I did another create cursor command. Problem was that when the create cursor command runs, first it destoys the existing cursor, which means for a moment the grid had invalid recordsources. What I had to do is create a method that re-assinged the recordsources and controlsource each time I re-created the cursor. Kind of a pain, but it's the only way I've found around the problem.
Don't know if any of this applies to what you're doing, but it's something to look at...

>I've tried the INV2 file in the Data Environment and also without it in there - doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm sure the table is selected when the form shows, and that there is good data in the table. My program calculates various fields in the INV2 table prior to displaying the form, and all the form text fields reflect the proper compilation of these totals - so I know the file is being read and utilized. Anybody have any any ideas?
