Michelle,

>>>>> I have a form, which has two grids, only one of them is really used, and other should be removed. The removing code was in Form's Init method and it works just fine. When I put the same code into Load method, it failes. Both grids have all columns controlsource set in design-time.

>What do you mean by "not a correct structure"? What error are you getting?

'Error loading file - record number 4. grdBldMstr2 .ControlSource: Variable 'ownerzip5' is not found.

The problem with include file might be temproral (at was not able to reproduce it, so I think, something was wrong with the path settings in that time).

Anyway, there is the problem: I have two grids on a form with all columns ControlSource set in design-time. When I run my form, I use only one of them, depending on some conditions. How can I (if it possible) prevent execution of Grid Init and all it's childs Init.

Another possible solution - save these grids as two classes and then instead of removing - add either of them. But how can I do this, if they're already on the form (I mean, create a class)? And, besides, it seems to me that this solution is combersome...

TIA

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
