I must confess that I don't exactly understand your question, but I guess this is what you eally want

Select *something* into cursor mycur readwrite
Select curgrid && the cursor which "drives" your grid
zap
append from dbf('mycur')
thisform.grid1.refresh()

For this to work, an empty curgrid cursor must be created in the form's load event.
