Hi Tim,

I had the same problem using a grid. I got around that by using a memory variable field name in the record source property with the same name of an empty data table (e.g. I used 'stest' for stest.dbf) with the required structure. The record source type was "Aias".

I used a program to initially populate my grid with data from one data table. I used 'stest' as a public variable and assigned it that table's name. Then used it as a macro: stest='table1' ; use &stest.

I then used option buttons to change the data content of my grid using the macro-substitution method.


HTH,
