In one of my forms I have a grid with 10 columns and up to 15 rows where the user can enter a number of short values and then save the values to some permanent tables. The grid has been based on rows of a work table which are related to the parent record of the form. Periodically the work table has to be changed to accomodate changes in the database.

I would like to use a cursor instead of a work table. I've written the code to generate the cursor each time the form is entered. I like this approach better because it is self-maintaining. And also because each user gets their own temporary DBF file with no possibility of trying to use the same rows in the worktable.

Unfortunately after changing my grid to have the cursor as a record source (type 1-alias) it doesn't show any data.

Is this possible? What am I missing?
