Hi Barry,

In Scenario 1 (instantiating in Load event), the tables were already opened before the grid was instantiated. Remember, the Load event occurs before instantiation of the objects contained in the form. Hence, the grid can already get hold of its data.

In Scenario 2 (dropping BO in form), the grid was instantiated before BO was, thus leaving grid with nowhere to find its data source.

HTH,

Dennis
