Hi
I think the below code may help you
1- formatting the Data set columns
2- setting properties for the Data grid columns

With ds.Tables("Tick")
.Columns(0).ColumnName = "Call Status"
.Columns(1).ColumnName = "Cust No"
.Columns(2).ColumnName = "Calling Date"
.Columns(3).ColumnName = "Calling time"
.Columns(4).ColumnName = "Cust Name"
.Columns(5).ColumnName = "Cust Tel."
.Columns(6).ColumnName = "Line No."
.Columns(7).ColumnName = "Transfer Reason"
.Columns(8).ColumnName = "Call Details"
.Columns(9).ColumnName = "Agent Notes"
.Columns(10).ColumnName = "Super Notes"
End With
With DataGrid6
Dim tableStyle As New DataGridTableStyle

tableStyle.MappingName = "Tick"
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'' adding the grid coulumns to be formatted
Dim statuscol As New DataGridBoolColumn

Dim column As New DataGridTextBoxColumn
' column = New DataGridColumnStyle
statuscol.MappingName = "Call Status"
statuscol.HeaderText = "Call Status"
statuscol.TrueValue = 1
statuscol.FalseValue = 0
statuscol.ReadOnly = False
statuscol.Width = 40
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(statuscol)

column = New DataGridTextBoxColumn
column.MappingName = "Cust No"
column.HeaderText = "Cust No"
column.Width = 70
column.ReadOnly = True
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(column)

Thanks for your response, but what i meant was that the column should be in a disabled state so that the user cannot click on it.
