Hi Paul.

>> Now, in mine, the readOnly status is changing as the user clicks edit, and saves and such. Do you think perhaps a strategically placed refresh would help? My thought is no, but just an idea. <<

I don't think that refreshing will make a bit of difference. What framework are you using? Sounds like it is time to start tracing through code to see where the grid's recordSource is getting set to ReadOnly.
