Hi Mike,

Yes, that's a thought. In fact I need to download all the upgrades from about 2002 onward and start applying them. It will be a boatload of fun I am sure. But I could dl the latest one and see if there is a change in just that method. As it is, it is so long since I have been on VMP that I am not even sure I can find the downloads pages....:-)

>>You most likely were using VMP as a framework, no? Using your code as a clue I traced it down to the fact that there is a method in VMP's class XXFW.VCX/grdbase called .SizeColumnsToFit() that uses similar metrics to set the last column to be within the grid. Somehow it is "off" which I have not figured out yet (works under VFP7 but not 9). I am way behind in updating the VMP classes from about 4 years ago (project for this year). For now, either I use your code or override VMP's method so that it does not fire.
