Hi Matt... thanks for the code... here is my code... it is in a ADD RECORD button Clicked event. I am trying to add blank records to a GRID. If the GRID
has Deleted records, I am trying to use those up...something is wrong, because
it will not use the deleted records as the new blank record... will you look at this code?
thanks again...rob



found_one = .f.
rec=0
do while !eof()

if empty(name)
dele
endif

if deleted()
recall
store .t. to found_one
rec=recno()
exit
endif

skip 1
enddo

if found_one = .f.
append blank
thisform.grid1.column1.text1.setfocus
endif

if found_one = .t.
goto rec
thisform.grid1.column1.text1.setfocus
endif

*thisform.grid1.refresh()
