Thanks Trey, I have also found I can click and drag a column. So if I increase the columncount by 1 (as you suggested) it adds the new column. I then clicked and draged the column to where I wanted it!

However, in a FOR EACH oCol in THISFORM.grdAsso.COLUMNS, VFP still thinks it's the 10th column and not the 2nd, which it appears to be.

Thanks again for the input.
Julian

PS: Any thoughts on this ordering?
