Hi,
If you are not using buffering, you don't need to save the data - it will be written directly to the table when you change the record pointer. However, this is NOT a good idea. Look into using table buffering and then calling TableUpdate(2,.t.) when it is complete (check the Help to learn more about the parameters in TableUpdate).

Remember that tables opened in the dataenvironment default to the form's buffering. They may be buffered already.

The checkbox is part of the table? How are you setting/resetting it to blank when the user loads the form? What happens if two or more users are using this form and looking for different records?

>The table used to populate the grid is not buffered. I want to retrieve records from the grid form which are checked by user and update the check box status field of this table. The records retrieved will be displayed in another form. Moreover, the key field of the retrieved records will be used to update another table. I have no idea how to update these records in the grid and how to retrieve those records that are updated.
