Henry,
I thought so too but you were saying it was :)

with myGrid
 .RecordSource = ''
 * Prepare source
 .Recordsource = 'tablename'
endwith

Populates the grid w/o destroying current format (header captions, column count, contained controls etc)

with myGrid
 .RecordSource = ''
 .ColumnCount = -1
 * Prepare source
 .Recordsource = 'tablename'
endwith

Populates the grid from scratch.

However as I said before for a dynamic grid it sounds better to use an SQL RecordSourceType or Query RecordSourceType (or a view).
