I know that the view has content, but despite efforts to requery and refresh the view and grid, nothing appears. Oddly enough, if I open the view manually and run it and then, with it in the memory, run the forms, the data for form two will appear and change based on which user information is passed.

Once I had done so, form three had the problem and form two worked fine. This indicates to me that there is something peculiar about this second position.

It might be irrelevant, but just few points:
1. Password form usually is used as first app form (modal) and if it's OK, than it disappeares and app interface comes up.
2. It's normal instead of using separate parameter-entry and grid form, use one form with two pages.
In regard to your problem, I guess you have difficulties with form referencing which prevents you from issuing Grid.Refresh from another form.
