>>1) If I DON'T use the data environment (manually open my files) or I use DE with the one-to-many relation property set to OFF, my checkboxes in the child grids make my record pointer go to the bottom of the grid when they get the focus.

>>2) If I DO use the data environment with the one-to-many relation property set to ON, my checkbox problem is fixed but I get duplicates records in the parent grid, i.e. as many copies as I have children records.

>>TIA for your help.
