>>>I have a grid based on a framework gridclass with a columncount of -1. The grid in the form has column count = 6, recordsourcetype = 1-Alias, a valid recordsource, and I define the controlsource for each of the six columns as a specific column of the grid recordsource.

Don't remember seeing this behavior, but I believe there was a similar thread...

Anyway, for start you may try to isolate a method, where this reconstruction occurs. For this reason, you may put
=messagebox(program()+" thisform.myGrid.ColumnCount "+transform(thisform.myGrid.ColumnCount))) in couple of form's and grid's methods and see, if you would be able to find the culprit...
