I seem to recall that if I had an unbound grid on a form, the grid would use a table opened by the DE of the form as its RecordSource. I had to set the RecordSource of this grid to [ empty string ] in the form init so the form and the "serach results" grid would properly display nothing when the form was first opened. Once there were search results, I would then bind the grid to that results cursor. Is this similar to what you are doing?
