Gil,

Are you doing a second SELECT to populate the grid?

Any time you rip the cursor out from under a grid it'll destroy the columns/headers/controls and rebuild it from scratch with baseclass columns/headers/textboxes. If you can use a view the grid will not self destruct when you Requery("TheView"). Otherwise you can do something like this:

lcSave = this.RecordSource
this.RecordSource = ""
select ... ;
   from ... ;
   into cursor ... ;
this.RecordSource = lcSave

>I have a grid, when I search for a customer my grid lines stay in tact, but when I do another search my grid lines shrink so I can't read my headings, I want my grid lines to stay same size. Thanks
