Put the SQL statement in the Form's Load event. By the time the Form Init fires, the Grid has already initialized. When it can't find the alias, I believe it unbinds itself.

HTH.

When I change Grid RowSource to the Default I get a grid showing my Column Headings and Widths, but the columns are partially filled with data from my SELECT and some columns are left blank. I have never used a grid like a Listbox before. What might I be doing wrong?

I assumed the SQL SELECT would fill the grid in the order that the fields are listed in the SQL SELECT statement. But that's when I get a blank grid with no headings, no lines, no data. What's wrong?
