a) to show or not a column, put a condition that will make it visible/invisible if the count exists (whatever you mean by that)
something like thisform.grid1.column5.visible = (yourcondition = .t.) b) build a textbox class that would check for the above condition and replace the column's textbox with your new class Is this what you want?
