Mark and Robert,

You were right! I had the business object set to "Don't auto-requery" which I now see in the manual is the default for Mere Mortals business objects to allow them to load faster. Once I set it to "Requery on init", voila - my data appeared! I'm sure it's the same thing with the grid.

I really appreciate all the help I get in this forum. Thanks. Until my next roadblock....

Sally


>I agree with Robert in that your views are probably being opened with the NoDataOnLoad property set to TRUE or a USE lv_AcctType NODATA is being issued.
