>>>When I try to add a column to an old grid to display a field I recently added to the table, I get a "A member object with this name already exists" error. Re-creating the grid from the beginning is a bit of a bother. How do I get around this error?

>My columns are named Column1, column2, ...column61. That is the default. The names are not original, but they are unique. Each one has a text box named text1 in it. It would be a bother to change the names of 61 text boxes.

check the column's objects names -- it may already be there.
you can view forms in the class browser -- display code and search for object name will be faster than checking under each col.
