[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 563 bytes --]

I'm having problems configuring the column view in a particular file  - I can't insert/add a column.  

I can navigate around it, and S-M-<left> works fine, but S-M-<right> brings up the message "Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil"

In a newly created test file S-M-<right> worked fine - prompts for a property. I don't know if it's relevant but in the problematic file, when I use C-c C-x C-c to create the column view, no #+COLUMNS line appears.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot it?

  `S-M-<right>'
       Insert a new column, to the left of the current column.
  
  I cannot reproduce:
  Org version 7.01trans , commit	9ec705cb57b77595dd9aeb17f9168fb1db9ac908.
  
  
  Sample file:
  -------------------
       -*- mode: org; -*-
  * [2010-09-29 mer] column view
  :PROPERTIES:
  :COLUMNS: %25ITEM(Number) 
  :END:
  ** one
  :PROPERTIES:
  :Value: 100
  :Age: 11
  :END: 
  ** two
  :PROPERTIES:
  :Value: 200
  :Age: 22
  :END: 
  -------------
  
  1.  C-c C-x C-c  shows the column view with the "Number column"
  2.  M-S-<right>  asks for the property of the new column
  2.1        write "Age" (without " ")
  3.  You'll have a two columns column view

    Thanks, Giovanni, but I fixed it before using your sample file.  I went 
    through my file with a fine-tooth comb and found a tag on a line beginning 
    "PROPERTIES".  (At least I think it was that line -  it could have been the 
    line below with the property value in it.  Whichever it was, it wasn't on a 
    headline.)
    
    When I removed the tag and reloaded the file, the column commands all worked 
    fine.
    
    I'm assuming that was the cause, but I was surprised though since there had 
    been no error message.
