>>Greetings. I am having some difficulty getting the first record in a grid to display properly. All columns are ok except for the one that contains a combo box. This column is blank. All columns in records two through four display properly.

I found that the relations would get out of sync at some point during the creation of the form and it only recovered once it updated the second record in the browse. My patch was to SELECT the related table and then select back to the main table in the refresh of the form and that resolved the problem partially.

Wow, this forum is great! Thank you for your response.

I solved it by placing a "LOCATE" before the grid refresh. I had tried selecting the linked table then reselecting the parent previously. "GO TOP" also worked. wierd.
