Whoah... that was freakish. All I needed to do is set the columncount to the number of colunms needed and then I could dispense with the addobject lines below. Works fine now.
>I am creating a grid to display the contents of a cursor. Only the first 5 columns of the grid have a proper caption and are bound to the cursor. If I look at the grid in the debugger, all the captions and controlsource are set correctly, but the grid does not display either the captions or data after the 5th column. Can anyone see the flaw in my technique?
