>>I need to change sorting of records when user clicks on a column header of a grid. As far as I know how to do it, you have to replace "Header1" from the column object and replace it with your own custom object.

>It would help if you said which error are you getting. I don't remember whether I've done that in 6, or started with 7, but I think you don't need the removeobject line. If you watch it in the debugger, the moment you remove the header, a new one is inserted instead of it. But when you add a header, the old one is automatically removed.

The error is "Object Name is Invalid", when trying to add object "custom_header."

>This exceptional behavior of columns with headers is quite opposite from what it does with other controls - you can add them as you like, and if you want your control to be the one, you need to add it first, then remove the original one. If you remove the old one first, it's reincarnated (well, just like it does with the header - sometimes I think VFP grids come from those horror movies where the monster just keeps getting revived, really hard to kill).
