I've always used a separate form for single record add/edit. Then took

that object and validated it in the business object (my controls were

always thisform.oRecord.cLastName, etc.), then passed that to my data

object to add/edit/delete in the backend (MySQL) database via my SPT

code.

For some reason (probably years before I switched to non-binding VFP

cursors instead of local views or direct tables in my earliest VFP

days), I favored avoiding data entry in grids. Some here may have

helped me form that position too.

I liked the Help manual idea for it!
