There are two ways of putting text in the top row of the flexgrid. &nbsp;First, is using TextTatrix with a row index of zero like ryancys has suggested. &nbsp;You can also use the FormatString property:<br />
<br />
tblCustomers.FormatString = &quot;CustNo|Cust Name|Balance&quot;<br />
<br />
You'd have to look at the colseparators (?) property. &nbsp;I think that the pipe symbol separates the columns, but it could be a vbTab character. &nbsp;You can also include special characters that tell the grid whether to right-align, center or left-align the column:<br />
<br />
tblCustomers.FormatString = &quot;^CustNo|&lt;Cust Name|&gt;Balance&quot;<br />

I had the same problem. &nbsp;This is how I added the first row and then removed the top &quot;blank&quot; row.<br />
<br />
FlexGrid1.AddItem &quot;Column1&quot; &amp;&nbsp;vbTab &amp;&nbsp;&quot;Column2&quot; &amp;&nbsp;vbTab &amp;&nbsp;&quot;Column3&quot;<br />
<br />
If FlexGrid1.TextMatrix(1, 1) = &quot;&quot;&nbsp;Then FlexGrid1.RemoveItem (1)<br />
<br />
<br />

I had the same problem.  This is how I added the first row and then removed the top "blank" row.

FlexGrid1.AddItem "Column1" & vbTab & "Column2" & vbTab & "Column3"

If FlexGrid1.TextMatrix(1, 1) = "" Then FlexGrid1.RemoveItem (1)

Thats it, I can't tell you how long I went through the help files looking for that simple command.<br />

Text in top row of FlexGrid?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
