Hi!

You require to set RecordSource property to "" BEFORE you close the record source that was there. Otherwise, as soon as grid see that its record source is closed or gone away from visibility scope, grid will be completelt reconstructing. In other words, the code for changing record source should be following:

* first of all, clear the record source
thisform.Grid1.RecordSource=""

* close previous record source alias, do requery, PACK, re-create cursor etc. - whatever actions 
* needed to refresh data
* ....

* set record source back for grid
thisform.Grid1.RecordSource="MyNewAlias"

You can read more about grid reconstrcution and columns re-binding (there is another problem as well) in the VFP Grids Part I article on this site.
