As my control source is a cursor, I didn't want it to be displaying deleted items and potentially chewing up a lot of memory holding deleted items either, so when it came time to redisplay the grid again, I just recreated the cursor.

Can you have a predefined cursor for the grid? When you need to refresh your data, you select into the temp cursor, zap the original, append from temp and refresh grid. Then you don't have to worry about losing controlsources, etc.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
