I don't know how to solve this problem but, perhaps I know the reason.

If I guess right, you used cmdbuttons set of vfp wizard in your form. The problem was caused by a statement inside that cmdbuttons set. You can trace the program. When it run the statement "TableUpdate()", the grid will disappear. I don't know the reason. It may be a bug of vfp because I read through help files and KB of MS, there was not mention such function of tableupdate() - close grid. My solution was give up to use one page one grid form.

hope this help.

>>The form has a pageframe with five pages on it. On the first page is a one-to-many page between parents and their children.

>>Since users don't check existing parents for dupes before entering a new one, I've changed the LostFocus event of the parent's last name field. It compares that field's value to all of the existing parents in the table by doing a copy to a temp table. If reccount('temp')>0, it shows a form that displays all of the possible dupes from the temp table. If reccount('temp')=0, it informs the user that the parent record is unique. After the second time through the LostFocus event, the grid for the children disappears.
