Hi!

Are you sure this command does not cause any other routines calls? When you have code in refresh method of any control inside of grid, it will be called too.

If this is the last line of code executed before crash, the resons might be:

When some ActiveX control tied to grid controls or placed somewhere on the form, make a try of _VFP.AutoYield property and SYS(2333) funstion.

When you use custom column class, you can get weird results, include crashes. The same weird results you can get when vcx/scx file is corrupted.

When you have some controls in grid that use unusual approached to display data (for example, containers in grid cell), or you have intensive use of dynamic* properties of columns, you can also get weird results in some cases.

Last 2 items require some tuning of grid class
