Try inserting the line

rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient

before you open the cursor

>I keep getting a message that the recordset is not bookmarkable. Using the following very simple code:

>Private Sub cmdAddBooks_Click()
>
>    Dim s_conn As String
>    Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
>    Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
>    Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
>    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
>    Dim intRecordCount As Integer
>    intRecordCount = 0
>
>    s_conn = "Driver=Microsoft Visual Foxpro Driver;UID=;SourceType=DBF;Deleted=YES;Null=NO;SourceDB=C:\BOOKS.DBF"
>    cn.Open s_conn
>    rs.Open "Select * from C:\BOOKS.DBF", cn
>
>Set grdWork.DataSource = rs
>End Sub

I have also tried binding it through the ADO data control to the same result. Which was satisfying as it disturbs me to bind data. Anyone have a hot tip?
