Since you only have property access use the width and enabled to 'remove' the column and get rid of the tab stop. The columnorder setting will move the small space to the beginning or end of the grid.

thisform.grid1.column2.width = 0
thisform.grid1.column2.enabled=.f.
thisform.grid1.column2.ColumnOrder=1
