OK.. more info here.....

I created a new default form for testing and copied the two grids over and place the two tables in the Form's Data Environment.

When I ran the form, the same thing happens. The grdDetailManual grid shows the fields (from left to right), in the order of the table structure of the table REORDER2, even though the headers and column numbers show that the fields have been rearranged.

And, the ControlSources for each column are "NONE", even though the conrol object in the column DOES have the controlsource as REORDER2.fieldsomethingorother.

Any help, gang? I am at a loss at the moment.
