>>Hi all
>>
>>I have a Master table which has a child table (user defined fields) in a 1-to-1 relation ship. On my form there is a page for this child table where the child is shown in a grid (change view). Currently I have to "set filter to" before the grid gets focus or else all records are shown.
>>
>>Is there a better way to do the same. I can use views but the fields are dynamic and will change on users requirement thus the Grid (Change view). I also do not have any save / revert option (the guy types in and it is saved) for this child as I am straight using the table, any future concurrency issue unforseen by me.

>>Please advise
