I also USED to do it that way, but after I learnt about the ZAP and append from cursor routine, I have had no problem whatsoever. It also make it possible to design the grid in the designer, and forget about the grid afterwards.

>I have found the best way to fix this problem is to set most of the grid in code. Create the grid on the form and enter only the column count, widths and column headings. Then, create a form method with a name like GridSetup. In that you put code to define the grid recordsource and column ControlSource like:
>
>With Thisform.grdInvcLines
>.RecordSource = 'c_apshipln'
>*
>.Column1.ControlSource = 'c_apshipln.ManfId'
>.Column2.ControlSource = 'c_apshipln.PartNo'
>.Column3.ControlSource = 'c_apshipln.Desc'
>.Column4.ControlSource = 'c_apshipln.Unit'
>.Column5.ControlSource = 'c_apshipln.qtyord'
>.Column6.ControlSource = 'c_apshipln.qtyrec'
>.Column7.ControlSource = 'c_apshipln.qtyship'
>.Column8.ControlSource = 'c_apshipln.cost'
>.Column9.ControlSource = 'c_apshipln.extended'
>.Column10.ControlSource = 'c_apshipln.balance'
>EndWith
>

>Run this in the form init and again after each time you renew the data. After using this method for a while I find it easier than clicking on each column and entering the data their. You can also use this to set the column widths, etc.

>>I created a grid and define the recordsource and set the column and text controlsource. I use cursor as recordsource. However when I redefined the recordsource for the grid again thru the code, the grid setting change. How to avoid the changes of the grid when I use select command into cursor.
