Bruce,

I have not tried this, but things which come to mind are:
1) I assume you are putting the "\" as the first character of the *first COLUMN*;
2) I assume that the nItemID is definitely different for each row being added.

In particular there seems to be weakness in the nItemID handling in VFP. I know for sure that nItemIDs are *not* deleted when a RemoveItem is done. Possibly, if your nItemIDs do not vary, then the state of the first one in would become the state of all subsequent ones (having the same nItemID). This is purely speculative!

Good luck

By the way, if you don't actually need a nItemID I would try using List - it is much simpler/cleaner/more reliable.
