Hi, Jeff.

I also use the SQL-Select record source as you suggest when I'm creating plain grids and am setting up the columns in the Select statement. FWIW, I agree with Edward, in that *our* technique < s > is useful for times when you don't _know_ what the grid is going to be used for.

>Is there a reason for not setting the recordsourcetype 4 and then just use the sql as recordsource? I've used this a lot and had no problems. Am I missing something.
