Hi Dave,

In your excellent Table Sort procedure, using hidden rectangles, we
use the Sub SetUpOneTime() macro to place the rectangles on the header
line.

What is the best way to add another column to a table that already has
been through the SetUpOneTime process? I was thinking that removing
the boxes somehow, then adding the column, then running SetUpOneTime()
again was one way. Perhaps I've overcomplicating it.

Greg
