>At design-time the grid's RecordSource property will occasionally change to a Table from the desired cursor. When I change this property back to the desired cursor, it also resets (clears out) all of the Grid Column ControlSources.

>PS. The cursor is created in both the Main.Prg (before any Forms are invoked) and also in the Form's DataEnvironment BeforeOpenTables event using the following SQL statement:

SELECT cLineNo, cPart, cDescript, cColor, nQty, cLength, cStatus ;
>	FROM OrDetail ;
>	INTO CURSOR curCurrentOrder ;
>	WHERE cLineNo = "1" ;
>	READWRITE
>*- This will always result in the selection of one row.
