Robin,

I hope you have all Column headers populated from the field name or else you'll have additional coding to deal with the headers caption.

cRSource = thisform.GridStrip.recordsource 
thisform.GridStrip.recordsource = ""
thisform.GridStrip.recordsource = cRSource
** that is where you'd restore the headers and 
** control source if not all your fields are shown in the grid 
** something like : thisform.GridStrip.column1.header1.caption = "Col1"
** thisform.GridStrip.column1.text1.controlsource = "YourTable.theFldName"

That should refresh your grid.
