Hi Sergio,
thank you for your answer.
Could you send me a short snippet of your source where you hook in?

But i'm not sure that's the right way.

I like to do this in the query, because of if i have 2 or 3 grids on
one form and only in one of them the Fields are changable, it must be
set in the query.

My first Attempt was to do this in a descendent of IB_Grid, but it
doesn't work.
