>I tried this and it didn't work for me. It dispays an empty column. My grid is created with wizard. In data evironment is the table named gk_konta. After that I insert one column for count number. I move it to the leftmost of the grid. Than enter your code in form.init and play it. My column for count is empty. My code is the following.

select sif_konto from gk_konta ;
   order by sif_konto ;
   into cursor tmpCursor

if used("NumberProvider")
 use in "NumberProvider"
endif
use dbf("tmpCursor") in 0 again alias NumberProvider>
use in "tmpCursor"
select NumberProvider
index on sif_konto tag Linker
select gk_konta
set relation to sif_konto into NumberProvider
thisform.grid1.column6.controlsource = [recno("tmpCursor")]

If you cannot use numberprovider to index it then column would likely to be empty (no matching).
