Thanks for the help. But I still don't know why my attempt does not work.

CREATE CURSOR mygridcur (qty1 n(5), qty2 n(5), qty3 n(5), qty4 n(5), qty5 n(5), qty6 n(5), qty7 n(5), qty8 n(5))
FOR stepz = 0 TO 9
SELECT mygridcur
INSERT INTO mygridcur(qty1,qty3,qty3,qty4,qty5,qty6,qty7,qty8)VALUES(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
NEXT
thisform.grid2.RecordSource = mygridcur

>>Hello,

>>I am trying to setup a grid for entering data that is not tied to a table. The grid has a fixed number of columns (8 - columncount property) and rows (10 - by size of grid). It seems that I need to give it a recordsource, but I don't have one. I tried setting up a cursor with 8 columns of data and inserting 10 records into that cursor, but I get wierd results. Any ideas?
