>>We have a form with two grids and some other stuff. When the form runs the second grid is a compleatly empty white box. We checked the column count with a wait window str(form.grid2.couumncount) in the form init and the column count is 0 (it is set to 2). We are in the process of re-doing the form from scratch but I just wondered if anyone has any ideas as to what is happening here. We are using VFP 6.0 with service pack 2. (Just got the while thing last week). I have had similar problems in the past and found the only way to fix it is to re-do the form or whatever from scratch. I tried compiling the form but it made no difference. I am comfortable going into the scx table or whatever but I have no idea where to look for the problem. The form looks good in the form editor.

Thanks to all for the replys but the problem is not in how I am using the grid but due to bugs in VFP. We were able to actually copy everyting to a new form and it works fine. It seems that sometimes the form file (or sometimes other things) gets out of whack and we have to create a new one from scratch. I was wondering if something like deleting all the object code from the memo fields would work (or just trash the form).
