Solved. it would seem that there IS a bug in the "view code" option in the class browser in that it generates code that Doesn't work as far as Grid headers are concerned. The class browser is incidentally where I took my sample code from in the absence of the help file) and that you have to create the column headers for the grid in somewhere like the init() of the form or as others have said the init() of the grid if you subclass it.
Happy now, but I'm sure I have had the "add object.." method working at some time.... but maybe not for grid headers ... and my mind is making things up. I feel better now that I know I'm not going loopy .... just forgetful! Thanks all...

Peter, Yes, that code was created from the class browser "view code" option. This is damned strange and I accessed the VFP on line help (Thanks John H) and the code syntax would seem to be correct... but it errors from a syntax error ... but WHY?? Very weird. Thanks to all for the input and if I find out why it errors I'll post back... unless someone beats me to it.

Hi Dave, Looked around for some code in the archives and found some you sent me late last year (see link below) that looks like it is generated by a builder and that comes up with the same syntax error on the add object line. Does it in VFP7 and 9, so don't think your VFP is screwed but also don't know why it errors. http://leafe.com/archives/msg/465560 Cheers, * Peter Cushing * IT development and support Signature Dave Crozier wrote: > Peter, > I know that works...
