Yes, I have...

One way to get around this is to programatically reset the desired information on the grid... something like this:

with thisform.grid1.
   recordsource='tablename'
   column1.controlsource='fieldname'
   column1.width=80
   column1.header1.caption='Customer'
   .refresh()
endwith

>I have a grid with a temp table as its recordsource. The RecordSourceType is "Alias". This table is created before the form or the grid - get created. This table has no records in it at this point. Then after the form gets created we do some processing that does not involve the recordsource table - and for some reason - the link between the grid and my recordsource table gets broken... and the grid goes blank. The columns, the gridlines, everything disappears. The code that seems to trigger this is just moving a record pointer on an unrelated table.

That worked, except that the data I see in the grid after doing that, is just the first 5 coulumns in my recordsource table...not the columns I setup in the column's ControlSource properties. I have tried re-establishing the column controlsources - but that does not work either.
