I apologize for this 'train of thought' conversation but I'm cooking dinner for company so don't have time to try out these ideas as they come to me over the kitchen stove.

It seems I need a means of disconnecting those grids from the data that I'm processing in task #1.

It's been a while since I changed recordsource of a grid in code so I'm not sure if that is what I want to do.

Also, I may just need to bite the bullet, instantiate the pages as needed, and release them before I run task#1.
