MY question is why are you re-adding AddCover()? I place it on the grid in the ShellAdditionalInit() code and never touch it again. All my grids use parameterized views, so they are requeried constantly. I've never had any problems.

I thought (may be wrong) that AddCover was simply a user-interface cover which didn't affect the data handling but kept users from editing.
