>You might want to check out the .ChildOrder, .LinkMaster and .RelationalExpr properties of the child grid if this table in the grid's .RecordSource has a relation to the parent table which has the value of the textbox in it. This might also help to get rid of the PUBLIC var which is usually not done. Your public var can probably be made a property of the form.

I've never come across the error message you are receiving, but I do have several views in some forms that need to run before the final cursor is ready for display. I've got code that does;
>
>REQUERY("View1")
>REQUERY("View2")
>REQUERY("View3")

That makes sense and I'm not sure I was doing that (yeah, I need views or cursors for the grids' record sources... still not sure which to use yet). Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try.
