Hi Hilmar,

I erased my grid, to start all over again.
First I do a query on a sql table on a MS SQL server, the reslut is saved into a cursor. This cursor is being used to set the recordsource of my columns. If I set the recordsource to padr(mycursor.memo,50), I get following error : "the data source for this object must be a variable reference". What am I doing wrong ?
