If I am loading the recordsource of the grid in the Init event of the form, is it possible to reformat each row in the grid? It seems to only operate on the first record. Do I need to scan the table and modify the column text value?

Easiest (if data is not modified on the form) is to REPLACE ALL in the form init.
Maybe better way is to create a form method that returns the word date from a passed date, and make the function the controlsource of the grid.

grid1.column1.controlsource = "thisform.chardate(somedate)"

form1.chardate
lparameters indate
outdate = cmonth(indate) + " " + alltrim(str(day(indate))) + ", " + alltrim(str(year(indate)))
return outdate
