Is it possible to included an "index on name to name" in the grids recordsource property box??? I guess the "order by name" doesn't do it and I tried this which doesn't work of course "select name, yr_bred from master where type = "B" order by name into cursor addfoal noconsole inde on name to name".

Sorry for being dense but I think I understand the concept, just can't find how to apply it.

Can I create the cursor in the init of the form and then set the grids recordsource to it as a property???
