Hi Sylvain.

Thank you for putting up a very patient and elaborate reply. Thank you very much as it has helped me
understand one of my misunderstanding of Tableupdate(). I thought it will trigger an error if the update was
not successful.

There is one more serious problem for me. I turn or the the delemark when in add mode and turn it off after
the save operation. But when the grid comes back it is displayed with a structure of its own loosing the
original structure. Can there be a solution for this??

Thanks for the help
