>I have a grid class that ahs 20 columns in it. I added a property named LastColumn which holds the column number of the last column the user should ever see. The Before and ater row col change events are used to control access to the columns. This way all of the generic code for the columns and controls is written inthe grid class once and forgotten. At design time I drop the grid on the form and set the LastColumn property and forget about it.

Sounds great!
