>I have a form that I'm building a temporary talbe in the init method. I want to set the data source for a 4 row grid for the tmeporary table. Can anyone assist?

You can't reference the table/cursor before it is created, so blank out the recordsource property of the grid.
After building the cursor, set the grid's recordsource to your cursor using the following.

THISFORM.grid1.recordsource = "cData"
