Hi Sheena.

>> I have a grid which has a dbf as the controlsource, client.name, client.firstname, it has 4 records and it shows
up as a white blank screen, why is this? <<

You are doing something somewhere in your code that is closing the table being used as the grid's RecordSource. Even if you are not issuing an explicit

USE IN (.RecordSource)

There are other commands, like PACK, that close the table behind the scenes. So if you are PACKing the table you are using as the grid's RecordSource, this will happen.
