>APPEND FROM is what I want to do. It is a view. I can't seem to get the syntax correct.
Assuming your grid recordsource is a view, MyView,
APPEND FROM dbf('MYVIEW')
If it's a cursor
APPEND FROM dbf('MyCursor')
Cursors and views are held in temporary tables. The "dbf('Myview')" syntax tells VFP which file to append from.

No problem - it's saving me from having to help my husband clean the yard (Sorry, dear, I'm needed on UT this afternoon)
