I had a similar problem, some times ago, when I was trying to design a Find-Find next dialog that behaves like Find-Find next dialog in a Browse window, and refresh the grid on the underlying form.
The solution was to resize the grid for only one row to fit, refresh() it, then resize it back.
I used code below (from top form)

IF !ISNULL(thisform.oGridRef)
	thisform.oFormRef.LockScreen = .t.
	WITH thisform.oGridRef
		lnH = .height
		*resize the grid to display only one row
		.height = .headerheight+SYSMETRIC(8)+.GridLineWidth*2
		.refresh
		.ActivateCell(1,1)
		.height = lnH
	endwith
	thisform.oFormref.LockScreen = .f.
ENDIF

oFormRef is a reference to the calling form
oGridRef is a reference to the grid on calling form (if exists)

Maybe you can use the same idea to solve your problem.

>>Hello,
>>
>>I have several VFP8 forms each containing a grid that is setup as a "list". That is, the grid has the new persistent highlight row set on and no cell can be edited. Each of these grids contain different fields from the same underlying table's record and each grid also has one field that is common to all grids.
>>
>>What I am trying to do is have the highlighted records in each grid synchronize such that as I move thru records in one grid, all other grids in the other forms, move and highlight their corresponding record. Thus far, I've created and array reference to the individual forms and from the grid's AfterRowColChange event I loop thru each form's reference and seek the appropriate record (based on the common fields) then issue a form.refresh().
>>
>>This approach appears to work ok for the first few times, but after interacting with the forms (like switching between them and moving the record pointer in the grid and switching back) the highlight "gets lost" on the other forms. All grids appear to be coordinated because I can see the information in the associated form's grid change. In addition, if I activate the form where the highlight "got lost", the grid will highlight the correct record so I know the synchronization works. Its just that the highlight row sometimes fails to highlight (until I activate the form).
