Hi David.

The easiest way to do this is to define a parameterized view and use that as the RecordSource for your grid. Thn, when you have to change the grid's contents, you just Requery() the view with a different paramter.

Another technique that I use is what I call a "safe" select. I define an updateable cursor in the form load and use that as the RecordSource of the grid. Then, when I want to requery the grid's contents, I zap it's RecordSource, do a SELECT into a temporary cursor, and append from the temporary cursor into the grid's RecordSource. Zapping the grid's RecordSource will not reset the grid because it does not close the RecordSource.
