From the help file :-
A Browse control is a general purpose database browser.
A control Grid is a container object that displays data in rows and columns, and is similar in appearance to a Browse window.

Re: GRID versus BROWSE
Browse controls are always linked with one table (that too a .dbf table).
Grid controls are for used for other purposes where, you wish to represent data in row,col format. For example, it may show a two dimensional array!
All the browse controls are grid controls but not vice versa.

East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

Hi,
For browse control (for data editing), do we need to use table "EXCLUSIVELY" ?

You need to open table in exclusive mode only when you want to add records or edit record via ALT-A, ALT-E.
If you open tale in shared mode, you must write your own function to add, edit or delete rows.

Helo MOL,
Thanks a lot!
I am also thinking in that way.
After reading samples an tips from this form I feel that GRID is more flexible, isn't it?

Re: GRID versus BROWSE
I think you will have problems with browsing huge tables (exhausting memory, etc) while using grid.
using Browse, I didn't found problems with database which has 100MB.
