Apparently those problems are much more pronounced under VFP9 than VFP8 (code worked fine there). I've converted to the way you suggested. I'm hitting a couple of snags there but I'm going to see what I can work through first.



>You're doing the classical RecordSource='' (nothing) procedure which causes a lot of problem. In stead base your grid on a cursor which exists before you create the grid. When you need to select new data:
>1. Select whatever ... into cursor curDummy (your SQL select)
>2. Select yourGridCursor
>3. zap
>3. append from dbf('curDummy')
>4. yourgrid.refresh

>>>AFAIK, if you're using local view for your grid and do requery(), the grid should work just fine. I think the similar case would be with remote views, but I'm not certain.
