On the first page of a pageframe I have the main table and on the other
pages I have the child tables on grids.
If I move the recordpointer on the main table (on the first page), and than
change to another page, the grids are not getting updated and are empty.
What can I do to get the grids showing the child data?

I tried all sort of things, but nothing seems to work. The grids are set to
be read only. But changing this does not work either.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Wolfgang

did u try thisform.refresh after changing record pointer on the main table

cheers

Invisible pageframe.pages don't get refreshed automatically.
Try "This.Refresh()" in pageX.Activate() or in the .UIEnable()
event of the grid.
If that does not help, do the grids work when you put them
outside the pageframe?

Hi Rajani,
Yes, of course, among many other things I also tried refresh:

Thisform.Refresh
Thisform.Pageframe.Refresh
Thisform.Pageframe.Page2.Refresh
Thisform.Pageframe.Page2.Grid1.Refresh
Setfocus (same as above)
Goto Recno()
Skip1, Skip-1

The Skip I tried because if I click on the previous and next button on the
form all the child grids are getting synchronised.

But it does not work in the click event of my search button. Perhaps I
should mention that the search button opens a small form with a
autocompletelist where a search item can be selected. After the search form
is closed the first page is showing the correct selected data of the main
table but the grids with the child tables on the other pages are not in
sync.

I have a view on page 7 where also items can be selected. In the Deactivate
Event I just put a SEEK to set the recordpointer of the main table and here
it works, all grids are synchronised.

Any Idea?
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang:

I think this might be a reported bug. There is some code to demo the
problem and fix it on universalthread.com. Go to
www.universalthread.com, click on the VFP Zone icon, and choose Downloads
icon. In the Summary text box of the query page, search for "Demo &
Workaround for VFP8 Grid Refresh Bug." The ID number is 18476.

I hope this helps.
