>>>okay, but the grid definitions is not my problem. My problem at the moment is that I can not get the correct records for the 2nd grid, because contactid is not correct before I even set the 2nd gird recordsource to "". It always stays at the first record for the 1st grid recordsource. It does not move off of it. So my 2nd grid does not change to different records, it always has the same records.

I agree with Ed. We need just few lines of code to make it to work, there is no need to overcomplicate and introduce some problems.
