Terry --

My grid is created afresh when the Page is activated. This includes creating the cursor, GOTO TOP, setting record source, and creating all columns. I can see the column headings and verify the cursor exists and is non-empty.

Despite my GOTO TOP, the record pointer is to the end of file. Furthermore, the scroll bar is grayed out, as if there were no records. I have no way to scroll back ...

Now, I hasten to say, I can verify that the alias for the grid exists, has records, and is unfiltered; that the recordsource for the grid is correct; and that all the columns exist (their headers appear correctly, just no records) and have the correct controlsource.
