>Can sombody give me some advice please. I have a cursor 'Articolhang' which is built when the the form is initialized.

There are two general ways of doing it.

1. You need to create your cursor in the Load event of the form. When you requery your database, select into temp cursor, zap the original [main cursor] and append into it.

2. Create your grid as a separate class. Add it in the Init of the form after you already got your cursor.

I use both methods in my forms.
