Ray,

You can by setting the dgProp["columns"]  of a datagrid. This property
returns the names of the columns separated by returns.

Here is an example adding a column with an asking name at the end of a datagrid


command addColumn pWhichDG
   local tDGColumnsList, tNewColNo, tNewColName

   put the dgProp["columns"] of grp pWhichDG into tDGColumnsList
   put (the number of lines of tDGColumnsList + 1) into tNewColNo
   ask "Column name?" with "Col" & tNewColNo
   if (it is not empty) then
      put it into tNewColName
      set the dgProp["columns"] of grp pWhichDG to tDGColumnsList &
return & tNewColName
   end if
end addColumn


Best regards,
