David,

Sorry, my mistake - what can I say :-)

Anyway, it works, just remember to set the ShowWindow property of the toolbar to 1, or you'll never see the damned thing, and maybe add a
This.Dock(0,0,0) to the init method. Oh, and for what it's worth, the form class is a Toplevel form.

BTW, I had not looked at the entire thread until now, so I missed the input from the other guys.

While Marcia's approach probably does what it's supposed to, it sures does seem complicated.

Bearing in mind that only one object, whether it's in a grid or not, can have the focus, that object alone, most likely being the last one edited, is the one that will cause the Tableupdate ()to fail. (Right?)

What's wrong with a This.Setfocus in the commandbutton's Click method, or am I being overly optimistic here?

They both instantiate objects, but AddObject() puts the object into an existing containership hierarchy. Which makes the object show up in the parent's objects[] collection and populates the object's .Parent property.
