The grid is programmatically a tempcursor RecordSource with exactly the same structure as the CA cursor. So, whenever CursorFill() is called, it tells the grid to zap the temp cursor, and append from the newly CursorFill'ed CA. Then the grid refreshes, GOes TOP, and SetFocus().

Are you adding a grid in the Init in run-time when the cursor is created? Otherwise I don't understand. The grid must have a RecordSource, what is its RecordSource ?
