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.
