I create the cursor in the load of a form before the grid is created and before the control sources for the columns are set. I do not reselect into the cursor. Isn't this the same thing you are doing?

If I reselect into the cursor I remove the recordsource 1st. Then reset it after I have gotten the new records. If you just leave the recordsource you will have the problem. I just tested this.
