Have you tried with a dummy cursor as an intermediate stage? Since VFP usualy will be smart enough to use the same cursor again, the delay may be zero. Something like

myCA.CursorFill()
select * from (myCA.Alias) into cursor curdummy
SELECT Tempcursor    && where Tempcursor is the 'permanent' RecordSource of myGrid
ZAP
APPEND FROM DBF(curdummy)
myGrid.Refresh()
myGrid.SetFocus()

>In this form class I am doing, it accepts a CA object, stores it in a form property oCursor. I then pass this to the grid to let it do the CursorFill. The grid also has a property oCursor which stores the same value as the form's oCursor property. The other controls in the form call the CursorFill of the form oCursor, grid controls call the grid's oCursor.
