Thanks for the input all,

An uphill battle indeed, this grid control is just brutal.

Well, anyways, I've taken the normally unecessary steps to reassign the controlsource for each column after updating and it now appears to the user as if everything's normal, although behind the scenes we all know whats happening...

What do you guys use for a grid, an Active X control? This foxpro one doesn't seem to cut it.
