John,
Fred was absolutely right. You can also use the column ControlSource properties to assign the correct field to each column (otherwise it will default to the column order of the table or cursor).

You might want to use the form designer to open a new form, add a grid (default VFP6) and play around a bit with assigning column and header information. Doing it programmatically will be easier when you've seen the results of changes in the designer.
