Deleting dataGrid columns via code

[Peter Haworth]

Not sure it is Phil.  The visible columns property is just a list of the
visible column names so there'd still be some sort of repeat loop similar
to yours to get rid of the unwanted stuff.

Hard to know the best way to do it without knowing more about how Skip
wants to export the data but simplest might be adjusting the
dgProps["columns"] as long as he can recover them again.
