I have used the Validate event in other controls which fires anytime somthing is done, don't know if this is any use.

As far as disabling the columns, I don't know.

You can however hide them. The following code hides columns if it is of any use.

Private Sub HideColumns()
   ' Use the DataField property to determine which column is being 
   ' tested. Show only three columns: ProductName, UnitPrice, and 
   ' UnitsInStock. 
   
   Dim c As Column
   For Each c In DataGrid1.Columns
      Select Case c.DataField
      Case "ProductName"
         c.Visible = True
      Case "UnitPrice"
         c.Visible = True
      Case "UnitsInStock"
         c.Visible = True
         c.Caption = "In Stock" ' Change the column header.
      Case Else ' Hide all other columns.
         c.Visible = False
      End Select
   Next c
End Sub
