And I have no commands changing the active alias but grid shows records the way i described. I think it is a bug of VFP. I can type "SELECT MyAlias" as many times as I want in Init and Activate methods but grid shows the right values only after I click it !

Hi Eugene,

I believe, I saw here this problem mentioned, but I was unable to find this thread, so I found few with the similar problem. Are you sure, you want to show parent info in the grid too? Can you show parent info in separate textboxes (etc.) and use grid for child only? Anyway, it sounds like a bug to me too, but before jumping to this conclusion we should have a simple reproducable test case. Could you please create such case and probably e-mail it to me?
