No worries. That makes more sense. It still doesn't work. I must have the MappingName messed up some how. Whether I do this programmatically or through the properties window, my changes don't take. Thanks

Thanks for the function. It works great.

Nick; Turns out the datagrid WILL work fine. not sure what I was thinking (maybe I wasn't). The only thing I have to do now is programatically set the column widths for the data. :)Thanks for the quick reply.
