I don't know whether it is or is not a grid reconstruction issue -- but I doubt it.

As I said, the base class for these grids is a class that I use all over the place. That class handles all the stuff of constructing the grid's properties safely. I have gone over that many many times ...

The columns and a number of other properties for the grid are all added at run time (in this case, on the page Activate). This is handled by a single method in the grid, which is called in the Activate event code.

As I said, I can verify that the grid's recordsource is correct, and has records, etc. Furthermore, all the grids columns are correct. (They are not automatic -- I never do that. The number of columns, column headers, etc, are all dynamic.)

Last of all, this works correctly MOST of the time.
