Peter, Forgot to show, where in the method calling the child form, and some of the information it had to have before opening, this is my code that mapped the query's for the child to be able to use. //change any properties before launching second form triplist.wfm form.TLF1.prosheet1 = form.prosheet1 //prosheet rowset via query form.TLF1.triplistvisual = form.triplistvisual // triplist rowset visual representation via query form.TLF1.triplistdata = form.triplistdata //triplist rowset data representation via query In my program, the parent program had it's own grid, that was filled with the query 'prosheet1'. Then I also had a secondary grid, that held the information that was linked via 'prosheet1' to my second and third query's which was respectively 'triplistvisual' and 'triplistdata'. I named them that way so I wouldn't get confused which rowset I was using to display the information on the form in the grid ('triplistvisual') and the rowset that I was actually modifying the data ('triplistdata'), which when appended, I could refresh the triplistvisual query and it would show my changes in the grid. The point of this message, is to show you what you need to do, to setup the mechanics of the communication between your forms and the query's that matter. Now you can use the way you've set it up, with two forms with two query's, but you're responsible to make sure the parent form's query information of importance is passed in variables to the child forms query so that it can get the same exact references. You're not doing that in your current forms...you're assuming the one knows what the other does...and it doesn't because you haven't plumbed it that way.
