>>It seems that nulling the recordsource would set grid's columns back to their default state. Instead of modifying your recordsource, you might try assigning a static recordsource (like a cursor that is defined in your form's load event [make sure to have it created when you build your grid and assign it as a record source]). Instead of nulling the source when you change data, simply zap and append to your static record source from a file or cursor with a matching file structure.
