I don't know if it's possible to change the language, but you can avoid having the message come up at all. Just make sure the variable cName is available when you load or requery the grid.

First, use a regular textbox (or other method you choose) to get the value for cName. A user can pick it from a listbox or grid, enter it into a textbox, etc. Make sure the variable is cName.

Second, requery the view. It will requery using the value for cName which you just assigned.

Third, display the view (form, grid, etc.)

If you have the view in your DataEnvironment, be sure the property NoDataOnLoad is .T., then assign your cName variable and requery.
