Correct me if I'm wrong here, but when using an SQL statment as the record source the grid *totally ignores* the control source...so they are a non-issue. With recordsourcetype = 4 you must structure the SELECT statement to put the fields in the order of the grid columns. Grids with SQL record source types are my primary tool for lookup routines, and I've never had to refresh one for it to trigger...I simply change the recordsource, normally via a method that fires from the interactive change event of one or more text boxes (or check boxes or combos or option groups).
