>>By setting conrolsource to blank and then back to the new cursor, you lose all formatting, dynamicxx stuff, and most other settings which are tied to the columns. By using Safe Select you get the best of two worlds. And by the way, I always create the index tags I may need in the lines after I create the empty "gridmaster" cursor.

If it works for you, no reason to change. Personally I had many problems in the past, but not after I changed my code to always use "safe selects".
