Chuck,
Sorry but I still couldn't get why tablerevert() wouldn't work. Just create a wizard one-to-many test form. Wizard forms use buffering and tablerevert().
In a buffered table unless it's row buffered there is nothing updating data till you call tableupdate().
If for a moment I could think it wouldn't work then a view that's not sending updates or a cursor might be another option.
Transaction is another alternative (wizard QBE form uses this technique).
If It wouldn't do too I would use old fox2x style memvar scattering-gathering rather than inserting and deleting.

>I have SELECT person in the form Init (for in order to make the grid have only related records), so I am assuming that's why this revert command won't work. The form has two "display" fields from PERSON and the rest is from AUTH table (both fields and grid). Either way, I tested it and does not work.
