Mel:

Try resetting column2's bound property to .T. - True (the default). I told you to set it to .F. - False, earlier but there was a reason for that in our efforts to get to the bottom of the numerous other problems that you were experiencing. Setting the column2 bound property to True should, I think, solve this last problem. I sincerely hope so because I am running out of ideas now <s>.
