Ed - Generally subscribe to this theory as well. I have to be dragged kicking and screaming into letting users enter data into a grid. But sometomes its absolutely necessary. I have a couple of applications where the data entry is spreadsheet-like... the user has to be able to arrow down and around quickly to cut and paste values. In all cases, however, I have managed to do all of the ADDING records beforehand, and so I don;'t have to deal with autoadd and so on.
IOW, I think this strategy is sound, but there are exceptions to every rule, and it could very well be the case that Vinod has one.
