Using a different name for the textbox control is waht worked? There should be no problem or bad practice in adding a grid to a from class. I suspect your problem lies somewhere in the queue when objects are actually created and/or removed [pluse get cleared from memory - garbage collection]. A small delay after the RemoveObject as a result of testing to see if the object was indeed removed before adding your object back with the same name may be enough of a time delay for the removed object to be cleared from memory.

If you did not test for removal, then adding the abject with a different name may have been enough of a time delay for the removed object to be cleared from memory so you could rename the NAME property back to Text1.

> Thanks! That seems to have worked, but now my question is why? I have used this grid class on many forms and never had a problem. This is the first time I put the grid on a form class. Is that where my problem stems from? Is it a bad practice to put objects, such as grids, onto form classes?
