Setting record source for grid is not enough.
You need to do it for grid columns as well.
And then refresh the form.
That is if you want to do it programatically at run time.

There is also another aproach ;
- Create cursor (in command window) and copy it on hard disc as free table
- Build grid with grid builder as usual
- Remove free table from dataenvironment of the form (and the disc)
- Create cursor in load event of the form

>>>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?
