Tried that now - actually, the grid is built in its .init anyway, so having a recordsource set as a PEM didn't mean anything.

Too bad, didn't work.

I think I tried something similar already, but the grid rebuilt itself (and I have a checkbox in column5, and field5 is a string, so this blows right away). I know it shouldn't rebuild, but it did.

Anyway, Jim's suggestion, combined with kill/recreate grid seems to work.
