>I have 7 grids on 7 pages of a pageframe on a form to display the Parent and 6 child Views of the Main form.

This is because most of the time the user may only open 1 or 2 of the child views and I didn't want to have all 6 child views opening everytime. So on the Activate method of each page I call a custom method "GetView" to open the needed view and Requery to refresh the grid(s).

Elgin,
ActiveRow would typically be same as recno() and using recno() is better IMHO. However since this is a view neither recno() nor activerow might point to previous record after an update. If possible use an identifier key (I use a key for childs too though they wouldn't have any child).
For Activecolumn using controlsource (hence the fieldname) sounds better.
I don't recommend ActiveColumn and ActiveRow properties because they slow down grid operations.
