Simon,
I don't have a special demo for it. I just copy&pasted your code and created cursors + methods to make it work. Honestly I don't see as a problem. I always prefer the shorter form of thisform.GetSomething() workaround.

>Yes, you are right I forgot about the cell contents disappearing. I found this problem about 2 years ago and it drove me crazy. I just use my work around of ThisForm.GetColumnText(This). I did not have time to purse it nor contact MS but it sure works wierd. The reason I am posting these now is that I have a VFP 7.0 app that is doing strange things and I must eliminate all the possible causes. Do you have a demo you could send to Mike Stewart at MS?
