This will effectively hide the column, however the column lines are still shown (in a faint grey colour based upon my colour scheme). I have managed to give the effect of scrolling, but the vertical column line seem to "pile" up giving a thicker and thicker line everytime the user scrolls right. This is acceptable for a couple of columns, but if the user has to click 10 times to see all of the columns in the grid, the vertical line has, by that point, become as thick as 1.0cm - 1.5cm.

I don't know about any 3rd party graphs. I did read somewhere (I think it was in the Hacker's Guide) that the only thing worse than a VFP grid was anything else.

Visible and column widths are all I can think of. Maybe setting the column order to -1, but I don't know if it would let you do that. Hmmm... You could always build the grid programatically. When you want to hide the column, rebuild the grid without that column.
