The Refresh method of the Grid, does not propagate like the Refresh method of a form. You could the following functionality to your grid to correct this "flaw".

local lxx, oControl
With THIS
	For lxx = 1 to .ColumnCount
		oControl = Eval(".Columns[lxx]."+.Columns[lxx].CurrentControl)
		if pemstatus(oControl,'Refresh',5) then
			oControl.Refresh()
		endif
	Endfor
Endwith

Add the code to the Refresh method of the grid. It will go through and call the Refresh methods of all currentcontrols. If more than one control is in a column, the non-active one doesn't get updated. You could change this if you like.

HTH.
