>>>Hi Jim
>>>My user want to be able to INSERT a record (using a GRID) right below the current record by clicking on a INSERT button. The table I am using only has 3 fields, NAME,DATE,SORTFLD. In most cases the dates will be the same value. I am having problems on how to approach this problem. I can use the SORTFLD (a float) to do my sorting. There will probably not be anymore than five records in the GRID. This is my problem. :)))))))

You'll have to jump up and down a little: get the next record's sortfld, and put the new record's sortfld halfway; if you are adding new record at the grid's bottom, simply double the last value. Once you get your sortid for your new record, you'd have to Go Bott, replace the last sortId with, say, 1000 (supposing you have ten records), skip back, replace with 900, skip back, replace with 800 etc - and then jump to your new record. This way, after any new record added, you renumber your SortIds, so you may even use integers.

I have assumed the SortId column is not shown in the grid.
