Wai,

I don't think you need to do that. However, have you set the column's ControlSource in the form designer? Unless you need the columns to show fields out of there order you can try leaving the controlsource for the columns blank. If you need to use the ControlSource then I would set them for the columns after the grid recordsource exists.
