I found a couple of solutions but this one is the easiest:

>If x is the RECNO() of the record I want to appear at the top of the grid, how do I force the grid to scroll up or down so that row is at the top?

this one is easy to manage, make an new method for the grid:
**************************************************************
THISFORM.LockScreen=.T.
nHeight = THIS.Height
THIS.Height = THIS.HeaderHeight + THIS.RowHeight
THIS.Refresh
THIS.Height=nHeight
THISFORM.LockScreen=.F.
***************************************************************
