There are several ways of solving your problem. If you want to make a view, load it with NoDataOnLoad (there is a property in data environment). After you receive your parameter, in form's Init you'll do
vp_MyParameter = thisform.cCustomer_ID
requery('MyView')

Your grid will display all data for that customer.
