Er. Okay, probably means you have a syntax error in the line. *g* Probably a .Something that should be before the endwith. Or a .Something that shouldn't have the dot. IAC, I really didn't mean to distract you from the real issue.

Right just more reason to think it's the problem with the recordsource.

Set the .RecordSource to ""
Do the Query.
Reset the .RecordSource.

What you do if you redo the select is you've close the table the grid is using, so it revers to a blank one. Then you reselect and it will be filled in with all it's defaults. default captions, textboxes, etc.
