2 pts to highlight for you:

a) if you see what's New,
http://www.levelextreme.com/wconnect/wc.dll?UniversalThread~?2,33,12,641

You will see the calling should be: ThisForm.Grid1.Column1.Readonly = .T.
by inside grid coding!
Don't argue why, just do it! ;o

b) Just few days ago, at Message #394169
I have post some bugs about grid, all the objects include their coding, properties will be Reset
if you can change the grid.recordsource or another unexpected case is Wrong current work area cause
the grid show wrongly data..

So, try to replace grid child objects by RemoveObject-n-Addobject again to put it right!!

As Barbara said, you're better to change the property of column in the Form Designer, property window..
No coding at all and do what you need!! :)

The Above coding is a Reference for you to take care when handling grid!!

Partly agree it is a bug, but as the textbox inside grid is a Dynamic Object....
The backward pointer handle on parent is poor is acceptable...
That's why you need to make a expression for DynamicForeColor, Dyn.. to handling grid outlook
instead of simple assign the backcolor property!
