Mun,
Why not use a view which has a Logical field (for the checkbox) and only the other fields that will show in the grid plus the ID field. Open this view in the Form INIT() and use it to populate the grid. Then after users have updated the grid checkboxes you can use the ID field for editing in the second form.

However, populating a view for hundreds or thousands of records may take a long time. How many records will your users be choosing from? Is there any way to logically limit their choice so fewer records will show in the grid?

>The checkbox column is added to the table in the form init(). This checkbox is only functioned as an indication that the record is processed and checked by the user. The records with the checkbox checked will be displayed in another form. When the form released, the checkbox column will be dropped. I think it is very inefficient. Can you give some suggestion?
