Hi!

See notes below...

Take a look to the grid's property "AllowAddNew".

Yes. Create a temporary cursor with only integer field and as many records as you have in the ADO recordset. Bind grid to that ADO recordset and specify column control sources to look like "thisform.LookupField('FieldName')". Define a method LookupField on the form that will position record pointer in the ADO recorset accrdingly to the value in the integer field in the grid's cursor (if record changed), and then return a field value from the ADO recordset. When grid refreshed, this method will be called for each cell.

Anyway, it might refresh grid slower than with native VFP cursor, so conevrting ADO recorsed to VFP cursor is recommended (You can do this quickly by using VFPCOM.DLL from MS that is an add-on for VFP6). Also, such grids are read-only.

HTH.
