Hi Albert

I have had many problems with combo boxes in grids. Here is a tip I find works everytime:

I first add the combo to my form, OUTSIDE the grid, set it up and run the form to make sure it works as it should.

Once I am satisfied, I then copy and paste it into the grid, and test again.
Only then do I delete the combo from my form and also the un necessary textbox in the column that now has the combo.

Lastly I set sparse = .F. and I am done.

Cheers

Bernard
