hi,

I dunno if this is strange or just me, anyway:

in MyButton.click():

private cFilter
cFilter = filter()
set filter to

do form AnotherForm && would work with other tables in this form

select MyTable 
set relation to blah blah blah
set filter to &cFilter
thisform.MyGrid.refresh()

I use a private variable cFilter to store the current filter setting and try to restore it after another form is executed, but it's failed, the content of the grid in not filtered after the above events..

So I tried to do some debugging.. I've added a wait window command in the codes as following:

private cFilter
cFilter = filter()
set filter to

do form AnotherForm && would work with other tables in this form

select MyTable 
set relation to blah blah blah
<b>wait window transform(cFilter)</b>
set filter to &cFilter
thisform.MyGrid.refresh()

The code works now! But no one would show users the filter settings when the program is running, right? What should I do now? Why does my code only work probably with a wait window command?

p.s. I have tested by running the program in VFP and by running a compiled .exe, but same things happened.

Thanks in advance!
