Did you test without the CA, in case the "safe select" solution works differently with a CA?

>>>Absolutely none sir. This happened to me once before. Couldn't really figure why. The CA and the TempCursor cursors get populated with data though. After myGrid Refresh, it just shows a blank grid (but with the columns intact). I have to press Up or Down key before the records show up!
>>>
>>>The form the grid is in accepts the CA as an object parameter. There is an oCursor property where I stored the CA object, which also in the Init() calls its CursorFill(). I also pass oCursor property into an oCursor property of the concerned grid which in turn creates the TempCursor for its RecordSource.
