Paul,
Grids are never w/o a recordsource, IOW they're always data bound.
If you'd collect non-databound info use other controls instead.
If however the data you'd collect could be represented in columns, create a cursor and set it as a recordsource for grid. Insert one empty record initially and set AllowAddNew to .t.
ie: Would collect 2 char type and 1 integer type data :

Public oForm
oForm = Createobject('myForm')
oForm.Show

Define Class myForm As Form
  Datasession = 2
  Add Object myGrid As Grid With AllowAddNew = .T.

  Procedure Load
  Create Cursor myCollector (f1 c(10),f2 c(10), f3 i)
  Append Blank
Endproc
Enddefine

As you should have noticed though we don't specify a recordsource, grid 'snaps' to alias it finds.
