>>>Now the problem is this.

>>>The grid in the second form sporadically shows data. When the form loads the first time, the data flashes for a split second and then dissappears. 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.

>>>Because the third form worked fine, I switched the order of the forms. I put form three in the second position and form two in the third position. 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.

No, it's OK. I just imagined, probably wrong, that you were going to update grid from another form.
