No. that's not the way to do it, at least not the best way. The way to do it, is what is called a "safe select"

Select whatever into cursor curdummy
Select CursorThatDrivesTheGrid
zap
append from dbf(curdummy)
yourgrid.refresh()

>Maybe you are recreating the Grid controlsource. If so you should set it to blank
>and then reassign it after the cursor is created together with the single columns controlsource
