Yes, I want to insert a column, or delete a column. However, I did not wish to change .ColumnOrder, since I had trouble with this in the past. It was in VFP 3, though, and I don't remember the exact symptoms. I think the columns didn't always respect the column order.
Also, when deleting a column, my problem wouldn't be completely solved with .ColumnOrder.
I know there are workarounds (I will try GetPEM() immediately), but I was just wondering why ReadExpression() doesn't seem to work as advertised.
