Jay:

Here is a code fragment that I use:

local lcSQLCmd

with this.grdLookup
.recordsource = ""
lcSQLCmd = "select * from TAPGLAS into cursor TAPCURS"
lcSQLCmd = lcSQLCmd + thisform.SQLFilter
&lcSQLCmd

.recordsource = "TAPCURS"
.column1.controlsource = "TAPCURS.STYLE"
.column2.controlsource = "TAPCURS.DESCRIPT"
endwith
