Diane,
To do this I think both of your forms will have to be MDI forms - that is, when you want to call it you do: EDIT USING FORM2 MDI AS aliasname (The FORM1 form will have been likewise started with the 'MDI AS .') Now, in your add record eep after the insert and the PROPERTY TABLE SUBTABLE 'REFRESH', try inserting PROPERTY form1aliasname|dbgridcomponentid REFRESH 'TRUE'. I'm not certain that I have the syntax for that last property command correct, but if you have Razzak's examples of MDI forms, you can find the proper syntax there.

I have a button next to the dbGrid that, when clicked, pops up another form, FORM2. FORM2 lets the user enter one row of data into SUBTABLE through variable edit fields (which are error-checked and processed in other ways that I can't do in a dbGrid). After one row of data is entered on FORM2, the user clicks a button "ADD RECORD." In the "ADD RECORD" On Click EEP, the data in the variable edit fields are then inserted into table "SUBTABLE" on FORM1. If the user wants to add another row on FORM2, the variable fields are cleared so that the next record can be added on FORM2. What I want to do is to have each row that is added through FORM2 into table SUBTABLE be displayed on FORM1 right after it is inserted into the table, through FORM2's On Click EEP for the ADD RECORD button. In other words, if a person enters more than one record on FORM2, I want each new record to be displayed in the FORM1 dbGrid right after it has been entered and saved in FORM2 without having to close FORM2. In FORM2's "ADD RECORD" On Click EEP, I've tried setting the focus to FORM1 and then refreshing table SUBTABLE using PROPERTY TABLE SUBTABLE 'REFRESH'; but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to do this? I think I am overlooking something simple. Diane DeMers Sugarloaf Software _____ A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
