Thanks for clarifying.

This program is basically a MySQL front end, so tables have to be made 
dynamically.

I've managed to add columns to TreeView, but struggling with TreeStore 
(ListStore), I'm reading up on it, and in case there're problems, I'll 
surely ask!!

Thanks for all the help! I'll make a Glade tutorial on this focusing on 
code integration.
