Thanks Borislav, but I don't want to add a table to the recordsource.

thisform.ogrid.RecordSource = ""

If I do this it will still retrieve the propeties of the
current alias. I thought this was odd behavior.
I can just do like you said, when I know what table to
use..
thanks

>You must set Grid RecordSource

thisform.AddObject([oGrid],[Grid])
thisform.oGrid.recordSource =[MyTable]
thisform.oGrid.Refresh()
thisform.oGrid.Visible = .t.
