AH!! ran into the same problem before I started using Maxtech's
framework. Basically it has a field for grdbase (the subclassed Grid class) that is called ncolumns. set to 10, but when you set it to 5, then in the init code of the grdbase at instantiation time, it will just do grdbase.columncount=ncolumns. The only thing i don't like is that while working with the form, i see all ten columns all the time, even though i know it'll be reduced to 5.

learned a heck of a lot from using MaxTech's free framework... lots of documentation and notes on the classes... you should download it and try it out... compuserve has it in VFOX. Perhaps I'll ask Drew if he'll upload it to here...
