Larry,

>>Which business object are you looking at? If it's the bizobj on page 1, the default behavior of the form is to automatically requery the business object when the form instantiates.


That's good, but you've still got an underlying problem that may be causing other issues...Again, which business object is giving you problems? Is it the one on page 1? Have you replaced the built-in business object with your own custom business object?

<<1)The grid on page 1 ignores the mouse. I currrently have 3 records and the only way I can select is by using the keyboard up/down arrow. I have tried different combinations of the grid's builder, setting enabled, etc.>>

Something has definitely gone awry with this form...can you give us more details on what customization you've done to the form...is it possible you have overridden some methods with running DODEFAULT()? Is it possible you've replaced the built-in business object with your own custom object but not placed the code in your custom object's methods as outlined in the Developer's Guide?

<<2) I added an instance of the ctextboxl class to page 1. Why does the textbox object's valid method fire when the form is initialized?>>

I'm not sure why that's happening. As I think about the grid behavior, you may be fighting issues with the form's LockScreen. Place code in the When of the textbox on page 1 that sets the form's LockScreen property to .F. for starters.
