Problem with Listview columns

Hello,

When I add columns to my list view while programming they don't show
up when I run my program. But when I inculde the following code in an
formcreate procedure they do show up:

with ListView1 do
begin
Items.Clear;
Columns.Clear;
ViewStyle := vsReport;
NewColumn := Columns.Add;
NewColumn.Caption := 'Subject';
NewColumn := Columns.Add;
NewColumn.Caption := 'From';
NewColumn := Columns.Add;
NewColumn.Caption := 'Account';
Columns[0].Width:=246;
Columns[1].Width:=225;
Columns[2].Width:=80;
end;

Why isn't it working the normal way?

Hm.. is the viewstyle set to vsReport at designtime? There are heaps of
little options there to play with.
