>i have tried summing a grid using this method actually, but the problem is when u want to go back a few rows then the whole grid starts to flicker because the record keeps jumping to the end of file and then back to the current record.

>i tried sending the sum result to a cursor and then picking up from there but for some strange reason there is a gap of one row, the total comes up only after i enter a new row. which is confusing for the user.

Seems like a way around this is to have two cursors one controls the grid the other is a copy that you do all the summing with but doesn't effect the grid. My grids never have more that 4 or 5 records so the problems you mention don't effect me.
