Well,Dragan. I tried your approach and I still get the same thing... a disabled scrollbar and no scrollbox on subsquent queries.

I created a readwrite cursor (called kList) before I even instantiated the form. I ran my query and then inserted into kList from my query results. The first time everything is great. Got 45 records and displayed the first 20. Scrollbar was active and scrollbox was available.

I then ran the same query a second time. Got the same 45 records. Zapped kList to clear it out and inserted back into it from query results. The grid displays the first 20 records but scrollbox is missing and scrollbar is disabled. kList never disappeared the whole time. It was specified as the RecordSource for the grid at design time and never changed.

I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on?

Thanks,
