>>>how do you refresh a grid? I have one with the following
>>>WITH THISFORM.grid1
>>> ROWSOURCE= "Select price,quantity,noun from trans"
>>> ENDW
>>>and a click of a cmd button does the following :
>>>SELE TRANS
>>>GO TOP
>>>DELE next 1
>>>PACK
>>>the grid goes empty after clicking. I've tried refreshing the form too.

>>Tim,
>>I think there are some typos in code. You CAN pack your table but as a general guideline don't do it. ie:
>>
>>

*Grid1.init
>>with this
>>  .RecordSourceType = 4
>>  .RecordSource = 'select * from customer into cursor crsGrid'
>>endwith
>>
>>*Commabutton.click
>>with ThisForm.Grid1
>>  select customer
>>  locate for cust_id = trim(.Columns(1).Text1.Value)
>>  delete next 1
>>  pack
>>  .recordsource = .recordsource
>>  .Columns(1).Setfocus()
>>endwith

>Cetin, I've the deletion part ok(I guess) but the thing is when you have say 5 items in the grid and you want the user to click on the one he wants deleted, say the 3 item in the grid. The user puts the mouse over the 3rd item but it does respond even though I have a proceedure in the grid's click event. Howver, if you click on an empty part of the grid, the click event fires.

Tim,
You mean it doesn't get focus or grid.click doesn't run ? If latter that's default behaviour of grid. You can use something like Nick's click transparent control to intercept clicks over grid.
