Thanks. Unfortunately, I was already doing something very similar in my code. The real issue I had was that when I requeried cursor A, which was bound to grid A, VFP was blowing away grid B, which was bound to cursor B. The two weren't linked at all. I've worked around the problem, but it bothered me that it should happen at all.
