Well, I have always avoided setting grid.RecordSources in code. Never run into problems like that (still on vfp6sp5 too)

Can you get around by (1) creating the cursor with sql and then launching a modal form in the default datasession or (2) add the grid to the form after the sql in done (LockScreen will be useful)
