You should check whether you have SET DELETED ON - this command will hide deleted records.

Also, if you want to make changes to the original table (on which the cursor is based), use a view instead of a normal cursor, and make it updatable.

>I am getting closer. I had to make my cursor READWRITE. My problem now is that it deletes from the grid, but when I go back in and view it, the deleted record is still there. Here is my cursor in the init even of the form:

>SELE recno, paynum, invno, custno, invdate, type, refno, applied from cashtemp ;
> INTO CURSOR curCustWithCash READWRITE where custno = currentcustno
>CURSORSETPROP("Buffering",5)
>thisform.grid1.RecordSource = "curCustWithCash"

>Here is the code I out in that you recommended:
