use dbf("tcTemp") in 0 alias tcEdit
use in "tcTemp"
select tcEdit
* ...grid.recordsource = ""
* ...grid.recordsource = "tcEdit"

>>I guess I'd try converting their query input into a SELECT instead of a filter and create a cursor. Fox will have to scan the whole table for either a filter or a select unless there are indexes to support rushmore optimization. I've never had to be concerned about Fetchsize so I don't have any recommendations there.
