>>I have a grid that is based on a parameratized view. The grid has 10 columns, 8 of which have a view.field as a ControlSource. The last 2 columns are calculated values and have no ControlSource. VFP however, insists on showing 2 of the views fields in these columns instead. I found in help that this is a "Feature" of ControlSource for a Column in a grid. Any suggestions on how to work around this would be greatly appreciated. TIA

That did the trick. Thanks very much Ed.
