>Thanks for the reply. This lets me change records in the child grid, but doesn't update the two child memo fields that are shown on the form. I'vedone this before, but the shown memo fields were always part of the parent grid.

Bruce,
Also refresh them explicitly. Or put your child objects in a container (Childgrid, childfields on form) and call myContainer.refresh. Thisform.refresh causes a refresh on parent grid too which in turn forces child grid record to be the first in relation (Nick meant this).
