>In some grids I can reproduce it. what happens is that when resettng the controlsource, it kind of shifts and the data is not anymore aligned to the columns.

In your example, the first date is first displayed as date, then as datetime; the first time is displayed as time, then as "memo". So there was some extra code handling that which didn't fire when you reset the recordsource.
