>If you set a break point in your code and view the dataset or datatable in the Watch window you will see that the DataColumn.Caption property is set correctly ( I had to test your code to be 100% sure).

Yes, that is what I observed. But according to the description, I thought that the Column.Caption WAS the text that showed at the top of the column.
By the way, I don't know whether it makes a difference, but in this particular case I was not getting the data from a table; I was adding rows and columns programmatically.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
