Hi, Pamela.

I have come across similar situation. I wonder that anytime I reassign the
grid.recordsource. All the object in grid will be released!!
Then, the grid will relocate the New Object and all the properties will reset
to Default!!

This is NOT an Error! Grid should carry Dynamic Object.
When unused, the object should be released including header, column, text1...
So, What can we do?!
Try to make a New Procedure for Grid instead of using .init()
e.g. InitTask()
So, you can free reassign the grid object at this procedure even
remove text1 and add textNoIme again...
Because there is a Known Ime mode problem in grid at executable file!

Then, once you need to reassign the recordsource, just recall the InitTask()
everything will do as you wish even fonts size, grid row height, column
height...

Finally, I would remind you that Don't use the command:
SET FIELD TO or CurFIELDLIST = SET("FIELD",1)
at CreateObject() version. This will be totally different from DO FORM Version!
Of cos, the value return is also different in VFP tracing and Use RUNTIME DLL
to run .exe!!

Beware! ^_~ Good Luck!
