Use a view instead. You can add/edit/delete in the view and have the data changes show up quickly.

>Why doesn’t my grid show updates faster? In a private data session, I have a child table which has additions and edits as well as deletions performed, (imagine the classic invoice). The additions or changes won’t show immediately in the grid displaying the child records.
>The grid is populated by a cursor created with a select statement. After each change is made to the child table, the cursor is re-created. Before creation of the cursor, the grid’s ‘controlsource’ property is set to space(0) and then reset after cursor creation. Still the changes won’t appear until another record is added, or when you close the form and re-open it again.
