>>Is it possible to create a column header in a grid (VFP 5.0) that has text on more than one line. The grid has 11 columns and must be scrolled left and right to view all of the columns. Cheating by putting labels over the columns does not seem to be an option since I don't know where each column will be on the form at any given time.

Hmm....I had heard this would work in 5.0 but it doesn't seem to when I tested it. Has anyone else gotten this to work? You can always do the label with CHR(13) and dynamically move the label when column is stretched like we had to do in 3.0...but the header still needs a Wordwrap property, I guess.
