Hi folks.

I've got something weird going on with a StringGrid. I've attached a
pic showing what I can see. Problem is that I don't appear to be able
to edit the columns. Very Odd. 

Anyone any ideas please?

Simon.

If you have ColCount > 0 that does not mean that you have a columns.
At the beginning you have to add a columns (not ColCount).

But I've got the columns; Five of them. You can see them on the grid
to the right of the picture but I can't edit them.

No, you have 0 columns. You have to click the Columns property and
then click the Add button of the property editor to create/add a new
column and set it's properties. After that the Columns property will
show "n items" instead of "0".

Yes, it is a bit confusing. You should know that you can have a sheet
for example 5x5 with 0 custom columns.
You should read columns property as "custom columns".
