>Can I expect the Deleted Event of a grid to fire if the user just marks the record for deletion in a Grid? The table has buffering set to 5 that is the control source of the grid.

For some reason the delete marker never acts like I expect to, and I really don't like the look, so I never use it. IMO, you're better off using command button on a toolbar or form that actually looks like something that could be Delete than that mysterious black box on the left. Or like the MultiSelect grid 1001 THings ... about VFP, looks pretty cool.
