I am working on a project where i am required to update the values for a given row on a formGrid using a script. Here is what i am trying
FormDateControl = form5604D4.design().control(12294);
FormDateControl.dateValue( 10\02\2012 );

You should update the record buffer or the underlying bound values of the control, but never the control itself (definitely not on a grid).
If you would update the value of the control and it's bound to a row in the database, it won't update it anyway.
if your control is bound to a record you can just call the datasource by name and set the field, for example
mydatasource.fieldname = 10\02\2012;
Also, in the rare cases where you want to update a control on a form, don't use the control ID to get the control. Those are run-time numbers and not guaranteed to be the same. You can set the control's "autodeclaration" property to true, which allows you to access the control from code by name.
Dear Joris,
Thanks for the reply and the valueable inputs. I did realize that i need to update the underlying datasource and not the control itself.
