Well, I already have something like that for my pick list class where I go get the number of available columns from my admin tables and use the addobject to add each columns in the pick list.

So, if I understand correctly, I should put

ThisForm.nCurrRec=RECNO()

in the when event of each column.

I should also keep the dynamic clause in the init of the grid.

Will this avoid the flashing and be faster?
