>>I have a form with a two grids. The grids are both children of a controlling table whose records are displayed in textboxes.

>>The second grid sometimes has a filter set based on the displayed records of the first grid which also has a conditional filter.

>>When I'm scanning through the master table, everything is fine. I can turn the various filters on and off and both grids display properly.

>Yes, you can reinitialize grid by:
>cRecsource=Thisform.Grid1.recordsource
>Thisform.Grid1.recordsource=""
>Thisform.Grid1.recordsource=cRecsource
>Sorry, I cannot give you more answers, because as you remember, I don't use temp relationships and prefer to use cursors (just because they are 'independent') as grid.recordsources.

OK Ed, it's time for me to jump into the water and swim....

This is a perfect example of where I should be using a SQL statment. I changed recordsourcetype to 4 and put the SQL statement in recordsource, but the grid won't show the result set. Refresh isn't doing anything. What am I doing wrong now?

TIA
