Hi Mike, The grid of course is a collection of records (cursor). To delete with it in terms of an object purely might be to use an ADO recordset object; however, in the Fox, we can take advantage of some things like local cursors, so I do. My n-tier designs are logical and not physical....i.e., they're transparent...so the UI layer could directly see the Data Layer if it so chose. I'm not a purist, but try to take advantage when I can with the Fox! --Michael -- Michael J.
