Yea, I thought of the NoFilter. Added to make sure but still the same.

I tested an old system and it is working fine.

Grid RecordSource is set to "CaseSQL"

The initialize function in LOAD method of the form is:

Select * from Event Where .F. into Cursor CaseSQL READWRITE NOFILTER       && create blank cursor

Select * from Event Into Cursor CaseSQL_X NOFILTER                                        && Get new values for cursor

Select CaseSQL
ZAP                                                                                                                  && clear out cursor
Append From CaseSQL_X                                                                                  && append new records
Use in CaseSQL_X                                                                                             && destroy temp cursor

Subsequent requeries use the same method of Selecting into a temp cursor (CaseSQL_X) and zapping and appending into the CaseSQL cursor.

Again, first run works fine. Second instance the Grid loses its columns (now I see that even Column1 does not exist).

Also, I am retracing an old system where this exact code is working on the same network.

Very confused.......
