Personally I use cursors as controlsource for my grids whenever possible, which means almost always. I populate an empty cursor in the activate of the form using

Select * from mytable into cursor Gridcursor where .F. readwrite

So whenever I Select data, I do it like this

Select * from mytable into cursor dummy where &lcWhere
Select Gridcursor
Zap
Append from dbf('dummy')
Mygrid.refresh()
