[2008] DataGridView resetting btw forms

I have a datagridview linked to a LINQ datasource and I move it between forms. In one of the forms I perform some operations upon each size quantity cell in a row and if the operation goes one way the cell turns green, if it goes another, the cell turns yellow, and another, it turns red. Also I put a value in the cell next to these cells. But when I switch tabs so that the grid moves between forms, it loses all the Cell.Style.BackColor adjustements I make, and the values in the non-databound columns dissappear. In fact, I want it to do this, but I also need for the information to reload when I go back to the form on which I am doing this, but as of right now, the information is gone.

I can include code if anyone wishes, but it is all tangled with other non-pertinent code and would be awkward to read. Can anyone think of a reason without the code why the DataGridView might be resetting non-databound cell values between forms and resetting databound cell background colors between forms. I sure haven't set up this behavior manually.

Thank you,
Jerome
