OK, thanks for the info...the only issue with the name-it-something-else workaround is that I am sort of sloppy about calling the method that switches the controls. In other words, I call it more than once (in fact, sometimes I have to, if the underlying data changes its columns, or increases in number of columns). What can I do then? Do I have to come up with a revolving naming scheme or sometihng? Or will VFP eventually remove the other object so I can just oscillate between a couple object names? Just fishing for ideas...in this specific case, I may be able to switch the controls once and call it good...I don't think my datasource is changing much this time...

Is there a KB article on this for more detail?

I can't thank you enough for at least helping me confirm I wasn't going insane. *smile*
