>Ok, so the way to go is to create a dummy cursor just for the grid. Now, what I am thinking right now is this- why not just do the gird reconstruction? On a performance basis, which way is faster you think? Going for a dummy cursor that zaps and appends everytime, or just have the grid class reconstruct after every data requery?

Unless you select a huge number of records, the "safe select" procedure is normally fastest. And also important is that it's easy to implement and it won't make any "noise" on your screen. Just remember to add thisform.lockscreen =.T. first and thisform.lockscreen =.F. just before yourgrid.refresh().
