I know in VFP7 (and older) the old header vanished immediately, as soon as new one was added. For other controls in a column, yes, you can have as many as you want, but header seemed to be special.

That's the way - except I think the RemoveObject is unnecessary. Last time I went through this in detail, a column can't exist without a header, so the moment you remove it, a default header object is created. It vanishes, of course, when you add a new one. Suspend after the Removeobject(), and look it up in the debugger, or in command window - it still has a header. Its caption would probably be "Header1", not your caption, because it's the default header.
