Do you have a filter on fcab?

Try this...

SELECT * FROM fcab INTO CURSOR tbgrid NOFILTER

and in the click()

SELECT fcab
GO 858
IF NOT DELETED()
[some code]
ENDIF

Don't LOCATE for recno(), because it cannot optimize. Don't add an index on recno() cause it will cause you problems when/if you buffer the table.
