IMHO, the main reasoning between these two methods of form instantiation is not the instantiation speed, but rather in the advantages you get with one or another. So, the choice should not depend on instantiation speed, but rather on more important factors like inheritance from certain form class, or having the Dataenvironment available in the form. You just do what you need to do.

>>Sometimes it seems PRG classes are easier to access (they're in a text document, and not embedded in a class inspector/container). They have a smaller "source" foot print. Also, they are less subject to corruption than an SCX. Like Nick, I don't think it matters - the beauty of VFP is that we can intermix PRG and ?CX classes seamlessly.

Grid is not a control that is well suited for a PRG, unless its a flash form without methods - except release:-). Visual seems best for a grid.

A few years back I moved from mostly grids, to ListViews. My Listviews are PRG classes.
