Step in the right direction I guess.

The cursor that is the recordsource for the grid - is it indexed or related to another table somehow? Like if you're on PageFrame A, go to a particular record - then go to PageFrameB ...does PageFrameB's grid dependent upon the value you've selected in PageFrameA?
Trying to debug issues that are with activate() events is always a hassle. One thing you might try to do is to start putting a bunch of wait-window's or messageboxes in there to try to pinpoint then the recno() changes.
