The way I have my forms set up currently.. they do have an empty grid, with the default 2 coulmns in it... I then just run code which creates as many columns as I need, ending up perhaps with a grid with 6 colums, with all the details taken from a file, at run time.... does this methodology make a difference ?

Regards
Gerard
