Simple question on using grid

[jimi]

Hi all,

I have a grid to show some fields of a table, where it's RecordSource is
"c:\temp\MySource.dbf"

And i have several tables with the same structure on the network, users can
choose a table from them, then the program will copy it to c:\temp and replace
the original MySource.DBF file.

I want the Grid to show the content of the file just copied to c:\temp, but
it just become blank whenever I replace the original file, I just dunno how
to do it, any help please?

I have set RecordSourceType=Table in my try, is this correct? I dunno how
to use the grid when it's set to RecordSourceType=Alias too.. this is my
first time to use a grid, any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot!!

Jimi

Hi!

Read FAQ article 'Grid Reconstruction...' at the www.universalthread.com
site. Basically, you can try following:

Grid.RecordSource = ""
Use in MyTable
.... && do copy of anything you need
.... && open MyTable again
Grid.RecordSource = "MyTable"

Hope this helps.
