Jim,

The problem is the Form.Init() fires after the Grid.Init() so the cursor does not exist when the grid tries to bind to it.

1) If possible just create the cursor in the Form.Load()
2) If you have to use the Form.Init():

select *...
with this.grdTheGrid
   .ColumnCount = -1
   .RowSource = "TheCursor"
   .Refresh()
endwith

>I have a grid that is based on a cursor. The cursor is created in the Init event of a form. When the form is displayed the grid is completly white with no data. In the data session the cursor is created and does have data in it. What is the problem?
