Hi James

>Apparently, you're not the only one failing to get a point across. I agreed with you that it is more readable and sensible to use "columns" instead of "objects" for a grid, etc. I merely pointed out that there are other containers besides grids that can have only one type of object. For these containers, VFP has provided a synonym which is more readable, but still functionally equivalent -- and my question, when it was suggested that I modify my code to read "columns" instead of "objects", was to ask what functional difference I would expect to see after the change.

OK, point taken!

Thanks!
