I do not use DB-aware components at all, so I have no comparison other
than to take your word for it. :-)

If it's by design, then I'm fine with it. It that case, the
documentation for the Cells[] and Columns[] property must clearly
state this rather interesting behaviour.

This brings me to an old argument that Cell[0,0] should rather be the
first user selectable cell/row pair - which means it must exclude any
fixed rows and fixed columns. The current behaviour of Columns[]
property confirms this design. But that's a whole other topic to
discuss. ;-)

After I set the fixed row titles via Columns[].Title.Caption, I
painted my content starting at Cells[0,0]. In the end I had double
text over the fixed row. Was this not supposed to happen?  I can
supply a screenshot if that will help explain "double text".
