Trying to use AutoCompName property in presets of a grid. The Column (Number/Name) is greyed out and set to a value of zero. I am unable to assign which column I would like for the property to be associated with. Providex version 14.1.

Thanks for reporting this issue. It appears that grid presets is coded to assume that this property applies to the entire grid rather than cell by cell.
We have re-worked some of this code for our upcoming release and will ensure that this is corrected going forward.
In the meantime, we have created a support ticket for which you should be receiving an email message in order to correct the issue on your current version.

In case anyone else is having the same issue - the fix is a one line change to either the *winold/control.grd program (if using NOMADS+ or Folder Style) or the *win/proppresets program if using Property Sheets.
If you load either program in an editor - you should see that line 163 defines a variable called prop_both$ that is a long list of properties.
The AUTOCOMPNAME property needs to be added to this list. It does not really matter where - but they are currently alphabetical so we can add it as follows;
prop_both$="ALIGN,AUTOCOMPNAME,AUTOVALUE, ...
(don't forget the comma afterward).
This should allow both the column and row values to be specified.
