Hi Linda,

>I have a form with a DataGridView on it. I am able to select the business object to bind to the table but I am unable to edit the columns. When I pull up the edit columns option, none of the columns are displayed. I have done this successfully many times before and can't figure out what the problem is this time. Any ideas? Thanks.

When you select the gridview object in design mode there is a smart tag in the upper right corner of th grid. Clicking on this will give you a pop up menu where you can edit columns. There will be none there but the bottom corner of this form has a checkbox that says something like AutoGenerate Columns. You can uncheck this, and then add the columns you want typically as Bound columns. Check out the jump start section where Kevin walks through Enhancing the grids.

Hope that helps.
Tim
