Fabio,

"Beserk" in what sense?
a change in the SELECT ORDER not expected to affect the grid.

That is what I also thought. Any change I make into ANY of the segments in SELECT, ORDER, WHERE will result in my grid going beserk.

A little googling made me find this (which works like a charm):

* previous to this, create a temp cursor with the same structure as the CA cursors in INIT of form and build up your grid

ThisForm.myGrid.RecordSource = "myTempCursor"

myCursor.CursorFill()

ThisForm.myGrid.RecordSource = "myCursor"
