Thanks for the info on my objects being reset after resetting the recordsource, I thought I was going crazy. Question: I made a class based on the original grid and placed that on the form. When I try to manually set the objects in the init of the grid class, I get a source not found error. I made sure my controlbound property was set to .f. before trying to set it manually. Should I be resetting all these properties someplace other than the init of the grid class?
