Einar,
Yes I have seen this. The PACK is the problem in association with the grid. Do you have to issue a PACK? If yes, you may be able to set the RowSource of the grid to space(0) (NULL string), issue the PACK and then reassign the grid's rowsource and each column's ControlSource (if needed). That way the grid won't have to be rebuilt from scratch. All the method code for all the previously existing Headers and Columns will still be operational.

Having said that, I suggest you stay away from PACK while the user is viewing the data. Using the SET DELETED ON internal filter should suffice for not displaying deleted records to the user. If you need to issue a PACK, you can do it in the form's Destroy event. The form will not be visible to the user at that time so you don't have to worry about "fixing" things.

HTH.
