Hello Anthony.

>> if you're not going to use the parameterized view, but want to get result from a query try another method:
thisform.grid1.recordsource = []
... select statement-into ....
thisform.grid1.recordsource = "cursor" <<

This little trick also has the unpleasant side effect of resetting the ControlSources of the columns, etc. This is why I suggested my "Safe Select" method in the first place.
