>>Do you want to say that you use Cursor as Grid.Recordsource? If this cursor produced by Select-SQL command, then it's Read-Only and cannot be edited. If it's the case, you can change your code to get editable cursor (CREATE CURSOR / INSERT INTO).

If Grid.Recordsoucre="tmpcursor" then grid itself will find its work area, if you didn't close cursor programmatically during form navigation. I think yoo could 'debug' this problem e.g. checking Grid.Recordsource from some Column.Control.Dblclick
