You don't really need to set the columns to the fields

    ThisForm.oDatagrid.DataSource=oRecordset

This should suffice and retrieve the records at runtime. Also check if the source property of the recordset has matching records.

It does not seem to have a data source property in the properties window. But I can put this code in the init event of the grid:
