>In VFP 6.0, if I have an object reference to a grid column, is there any property that can tell me which column I have? If the columns are movable, the ColumnOrder property is not useful (since it gives current position which changes when the user moves the column). I could use the column name, if necessary, but this solution is not ideal because it imposes a requirement on the naming of columns.

Well, even for VFP5, (actually I haven't upgrade to 6.0)
there are some property to handle child objects...

For Example,

* Grid1.init()
With This
  For ix = 1 to .ColumnCount
    .Columns[ix].RemoveObj("text1")
    .Columns[ix].AddObject("Text1", "myTxt")
    .Columns[ix].Text1.visible = .T.
    .Columns[ix].Text1.fontsize = 12
    .Columns[ix].Text1.fontname = "Arial"
    * ......
  EndFor
End With

Besides, there are some similar count and array property to do...

Forms[]    ~~ FormCount     -- Formset
Controls[] ~~ ControlCount  -- Form, Container, Toolbar, Page, Column
Buttons[]  ~~ ButtonCount   -- OptionGroup, CommandGroup
Pages[]    ~~ PageCount     -- PageFrame
Columns[]  ~~ ColumnCount   -- Grid

So, you can make a Recursive Function to get all objects into a single simple array.... ^_~
