>Hi Y'all,

What I had to do was make sure that the last column was sized such that you could see the vertical grid line inside the grid.

There is no horizontal scroll bar by the way.

But then what the user sees is a skinny blank column about 1/4" wide on the screen which looks out of place.

I once had a framework where this used to happen, so I came up with this bit of code. Goes to the end of grid.init:

n=0
FOR i=1 to this.ColumnCount-1
	n = n + this.Columns[i].width
endfor
*[2004/12/23 08:31:57] dragan - adjust for absence of vertical scrollbar
nWidth=this.width-n-iif(bittest(this.ScrollBars,1),Sysmetric(5)+this.ColumnCount,0)-4
if nwidth>0
	this.Columns[this.columncount].width=nWidth
endif

This will break if there's no room for the last column - it would give you a negative width.
