>I just can't figure this one out... I have a grid with RecordSourceType set to "alias" and RecordSource set to the name of a cursor and columncount set to -1. The cursor is created in the init of the form, then the grid is refreshed... but none of the records of the cursor are displayed. The cursor has records in it (I can display this with using "browse" in a command window.

Hi - You can try setting the recordsource = "" in the grid init, then after the cursor is created, set it to the cursor alias. Also, why not just set it columncount to the number of cursor fields?
