Hi Hugo,

to avoid reconstructing the grid with all the settings and so on, I prefer this approach:

select whatever from myTable ... into cursor tempCursor
lcCursor=myGrid.RecordSource
select (lcCorsor)
zap
append from tempCursor

>>Thanks Hillmar and Erick,
>>I did try the Into Cursor MyCursor but still had problem updating the grid. The query would run OK and fill the grid when I put it in the load of the form, but when I run the same select statement from a control, the grid inside disappeared.
