Hi!

Code written in grid class works, but code inside of grid controls (columns, headers and column controls) will disappear when grid reconstructs self. When grid reconstructs self, it just removes all previous columns and adds new columns, that, of course, are default and no way to specify properties/methods of the newly added column controls (pity!). Following is a list of cases when reconstruction occurs:

- RecordSource property assignment when it is not empty. To change record source just assighn empty string to it, than assign new record source again.
- Grid cursor closed and opened again, or view used for grid is requeried, or SPT cursor requeried. In such case, before query/close assign empty string to RecordSource property, make all changes/query with data and than assign RecordSource back again.
- ColumnCount of grid is set to -1. In such case no workaround - just do not use it. If you make a class wich base on the grid class and use it on the form, you will just get an error that you cannot remove class from grid after such assignment.
- When you open form with grid and grid RecordSource (assigned in design-time) does not exists (not opened yet), grid moight reconstruct self too. In such case open all required data in the LOAD event or such before grid Init method fires.

Just look into the form's code, there might be also manual grid reconstruction code, that is a case too ;)
