Hi Matt ---

What is the setting of the Bound property in the column? If set to .T., with a blank ControlSource in the Column, VFP will see that there is a four column Grid that it's can't figure out and will put the first four fields of the table as the columns.

BTW, why not set the ControlSource at the Column, set Bound to .T. and be done with it? Why torture yourself?

Each column has the ControlSource set to , but the Textbox controls of each column contain the correct ControlSource. (In fact this is the default behavior of how the grid wizard sets it up.) It worked originally, built with the grid wizard containing 3 columns, but after I added the 4th (manually), everything headed south.
