>I write an application and display data in a grid. The first column contains COMBO. On every change different columns in the grid are available. After adding a record the user always wonder WHY the column that is not available has ZERO in it, and some others (Numeric) are blank. I try to BLANK FIELDS w/o any success and then just change the type from Int to Num :o(

I see. In our case we're using a textbox. However, if we would try to put something into the textbox, this would be considered as a change. I guess, the only way to go would be to have default value... :(

Thanks for your help.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
