Jaime,

I know the feeling when things don't go the way you want it ..

Is the LockScreen still in the load and reset to FALSE in the init of the form ... may help

Also, cann't you select the subset - in the form.load() - into a cursor (or work with a view) and have that as the recordsource of the grid ?

All small pieces may help

>That is the case exactly. Still, i tried moving the pointer in the Load method ( of the parent, the child, the grand parent, my neighboor's parent and child ) , and it still does the same, although i have less data flashing now ( even in a slow workstation ), so for now the problem is solved, but still, it's quite frustrating...

>>>Nope, as i said, i tried playing with lockscreen and refresh, but still no go. My feeling is this has to do with the data. I am going to try to move the pointer in the parent table (customer) prior to drawing the grid, so this way i am sure the data is set up prior to the control...
