Cathy,

How do the few fields from the cursor get into the grid?

Relieving no frustration,

Jim N

>I have a form with a grid and have created a temporary cursor with buffering set to '5' and used this cursor in a few columns on the grid (the cursor is not the grid's RecordSource). My code fills the cursor with data (using INSERT INTO and GATHER), issues tableupdate and displays the grid. Then when the user presses next, I delete the records from the cursor, issue tableupdate, refill it with the new data, issue table update and refresh the grid -- At least that is what I am trying to do ...
