>>>In a grid, I can generically cycle throun the columns with This_Grid.Columns(i).whatever. But if I have changed the name property to the column headers, I can not do This_Grid.Columns(i).Headers(i).whatever. Is there an equivalent for headers like ther is for columns? Or am I doomed to cycle through all the column objects looking for the object with a baseclass of *Header*?

>This was an old project (VFP3) being revisited and brought up to VFP 6 version. I don't rename my column headers as a practice, but there is exactly 1 grid done this way. I just wanted to be able to cycle thru without changing the header names back to the default plus all the other references throughout the grid methods. I have a grid subclass where I have a method to change the header caption color based on the order tag of the record source [red for the current sorted column, blue for other columns that can be sorted]. My baseclass used the This_Grid.Columns(i).Header1.Forecolor = ... Just wanted to know if I could make it more generic with a Headers() reference.

Well, since Headers isn't a collection, I guess you're stuck searching.
