It is - because once you remove the rug (recordsource) from beneath the grid's legs, it destroys all of its columns and rebuilds it with blank default columns as soon as it gets new recordsource.

You can either reestablish your textbox by having it as a class (advice you already got), or keep a readwrite cursor as a recordsource (one you would create yourself, to have the proper fields), and then instead of selecting into that cursor, select into another one, then zap your grid's cursor and append from dbf("tempcursor"). This trick will have the same effect - you're getting a new set of data for your grid - but won't cause the grid to autorebuild.
