>Before you rebuild the record source cursor, set the RecordSource property to "", rebuild your cursor, and then set it back to your cursor name.

You got it. I found out that setting the RecordSource property again made the data appear. I'll do it the way you suggest.

I'm remembering now that contained objects are initialized first and the container last. So of course there was no cursor when the grid was first instantiated.

I tried arranging the columns in the cursor in the same order as the grid columns and leaving the ControlSource for each of the column textboxes empty. But when I loaded the grid with data it added 6 columns (to match the cursor) and changed all of my column widths. So it looks like I need to set all of the textbox ControlSource individually.

Thanks.
