Strange Datagrid Behavior

[Pete]

I found the reason for this strange problem.  The second datagrid mentioned
in the original message was named "Columns".  In desperation, I changed its
name to something other than "Columns" and of course changed references to
it and now all works fine.

It appears that "Columns" is some sort of reserved word in the datagrid
world, not too surprising I suppose.
