Dilip,
The error you're getting is "member not found". I suspect either HFlexgrid or ADODc1 is not initialized.

Would you try this first :

_screen.print( ;
  iif( type("THISFORM.HFlexGrid1") = "O" ;
      and !isnull(THISFORM.HFlexGrid1) , ;
      "Flexgrid is here", "Flexgrid is missing" )+chr(13) )
_screen.print( ;
  iif( type("THISFORM.ADODc11") = "O" ;
      and !isnull(THISFORM.ADODc11) , ;
      "ADODc is here", "ADODc is missing" )+chr(13) )

Interestingly I'm working with ADO, HFlexgrid and DataGrid controls just now :) and :

THISFORM.HFlexGrid1.DataSource = THISFORM.AdoDc1.Object

works. Mine ADO recordsource is an FP2.x free table. If you cannot do it and gimme some time I could even post my testpad form to you.
