>>I'm resetting the RecordSource to "" and then to "MyTable" but the columns resize to what I think is the default size of the field lengths. What gives? I don't want to have to put a bunch of column widths into the grid. Why do they resize? Thanks!

I apprectiate your advice, but this is a different animal altogether. It is a maintenance form and I what I really need to know right now is how to keep the grid from resizing the columns after a pack of the source table.
