There is a trick in FoxPro Advisor April 1996 page 28 «Refresh
Grid.RecordSource» published by Drew Speedie that work fine.

The idea is to base a grid on a view, likely a parameterized one. When it's time to update the view:

=requery()
your grid and all the objects it contains remain INTACT; the displayd data changes.

Since view can only exist in VFP databases, create a temporary database, add the view, and delete everything when done:
*form load
create database temp
set database to temp
create sql view...
* the view is now available to the grid
*form unload
use in
close database temp
erase temp.dbc
erase temp.dcx
erase temp.dct
