Reassigning the grid RecordSource forces the grid to rebuild itself, so it is loosing its formatting. Before you reassign the Recordsource you have to set
grid.recordsource = ""
Then you assign the grid recordsource again and in most cases column controlsources too if they are not in the default field order.
In case of SQL statement as a recordsource I would recommend to use the parameterized view instead. REQUERYng the view with the new parameters does not cause the grid reconstruction.
