Naomi,

Won't resetting RecordSource to an empty string 'reset' all columns? Or is this necessary if the cursor fields do not all get involved with the grid's columns?

The reason why I use CursorFill instead of CursorRefresh is because I reconstruct SelectCmd which needs CursorFill to 'take effect'.

Thanks
Dennis
