Mike's addition to the thread showed me that while I had marked your response as a solution, I had never posted a thank you note. Belated thanks. Your help much appreciated.

>>I copied a form from one project to another. I need only a small piece of the functionality so I've stripped out the unneeded controls. There is a grid remaining on the form. In the Init of the form I have

>>SELECT crsEcoDetail
>>thisform.cmdExit.SetFocus
>>with thisform.grdWorkflow
>>	.columncount = 8
>>	.RecordSourceType = 1 
>>	.recordsource = 'crsEcoDetail'
>>.refresh
>>etc.

>>
>>I have verified that there is data in my cursor. In the debugger I have RECCOUNT(thisform.grdWorkflow.recordsource) and it shows 71.
>>
>>Yet the grid is completely blank.
>>
>>I then set a couple of controlsources.

>>thisform.cntCommitDate.txtDate.ControlSource = thisform.grdWorkflow.recordsource + ".dt_commit"

>>
>>I'm pointed to a record which has a value in dt_commit, but the value in the control remains empty.
>>The same holds true for several other controls I try to populate.
>>
>>It is probably something blindingly obvious, but I must be blind.
>>
>>Are there any grid/form/control properties I can check to see why I get this behavior?

>>All help appreciated. I'm completely lost.
