>I'm using a grid (RESULTS) to display search results. I have its recordsource set to a cursor named GUL. When successive searces are run, GUL is emptied and then re-filled with the new results. The problem, however, is that since GUL hangs on to the deleted records, the scroll box in the scroll bar on the right side of the grid gets smaller with each successive search, leading to a possibly confusing situation with the user.

> .PRE.CONTROLSOURCE='GUL.PRE'
> .SUF.CONTROLSOURCE='GUL.SUF'
> .EXC.CONTROLSOURCE='GUL.EXC'

You can ZAP cursor and the refill it with new data.
