Man-wai, I would suspect the Dymanic properties that fire code to update specific controls within the grid may cause a C5 if the cursor is not carefully handled. The best way to prevent oddities is, either set the RecordSource to an empty string and back, or ZAP and INSERT/APPEND data back in to it. Timers that fire, which then reference another object have been known to cause hard to reproduce errors, and a rare C5 for me. Exiting out of code in the middle of a CATCH of the Try/Catch have caused a C5 for me. Corrupt CDX files have caused a C5 for me. ActiveX controls, those are my bane, with C5's. I can't reproduce them in house, but several customers get them.
