See my FAQ article "Grid Reconstruction Behavior and How to Avoid it". You will find there also methods of how to define grid with record source opened in Init method of form.

>I plan to execute all file handling commands through a custom class which I drop on a form. This class has methods to load and save tables required by the form.
