How are you unbinding and rebinding the DataSource? I'm not real experienced with the DGV, but I'll try to help you figure it out anyway! =0) (Or someone else may have an idea)

>                .Columns("DOB").Width = objGraphics.MeasureString("XX/XX/XXXX", objFont).Width + 15
>                .Columns("DOB").DisplayIndex = 3
>                .Columns("DOB").CellTemplate.Style.Format = "MM/dd/yyyy"
>            End With
>        End If

>Now, the above code works perfectly...the first time. But later, if I reload the data in the DataTable, which I then unbind and rebind the DataSource and call the FormatGrid() method again, the "MM/dd/yyyy" format will not apply itself. It defaults to the mormal date display.
