Hi Matt,

it would be usefull to have the VFP Version. Even on such stuff where changes over the years. I rember problems with column.visible in older versions.

Have yous imple tried to remove the columns you do not need ?

.grid.RemoveObject('colum8')
.grid.RemoveObject('colum9')
.grid.RemoveObject('colum10')

Note that this will not change the naming of colum11 but its position on the collection: column(8)!

you might change this

.grid.column11.name = 'column8'
