Thanks for your help I appreciate it. Can you tell me how to modify my config file into a single config using the config file in my post? Are you suggesting I copy all the settings from the other config files into the app.config? Thanks again

Yes, you can control all aspects of the painting of each "cell" in a list view (reportmode). You need to use the LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED style when creating it. Then, in your DrawItem handler, either call the default method for cells you are not interested in custom drawing, and paint the cell yourself for those that you want to control. See LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED in the doc.

I'm pretty sure Access will import dBase stuff. You can always check out: http://www.dbase.com/mainpage.htm[^] - Nitron "Those that say a task is impossible shouldn't interrupt the ones who are doing it." - Chinese Proverb

I'm already using Custom Draw, but I'm not sure on how to create row headers. Thanks
