Fabio,

Which brings me to a question. Since CursorFill() always makes a new cursor, I usually do this to reload the grid:

ThisForm.myGrid.RecordSource = ""
ThisForm.myGrid.ColumnCount = -1

ThisForm.myGrid.RecordSource = ThisForm.oCursor.Alias   && object reference to the CA
ThisForm.myGrid.ColumnCount = FCOUNT( ThisForm.oCursor.Alias )
ThisForm.myGrid.Refresh()

Why does it run beserk when I change the ORDER clause? If I change the list of fields (SELECT field1, field2... ) it works always.

>>You are right there. However, if you change SelectCmd, like change or add the ORDER or WHERE clause, CursorRefresh() will still 'respect' the existing SelectCmd and not the new one. If something is changed in SelectCmd, one has to do a CursorFill(), therefore a new cursor will have been created. This will blank the grid.
