No you do not remove the textbox (you might but certainly not needed), I advice not to. Keeping the deafult textbox might even be better in cases (ie: both the displayed column and stored data are character like City names - then it's a high probability you'd want to try sparse = .t.).
If bound column of combo is of type numeric then set boundto .t.

Drop a combo onto your form. Set its general properties as you want first there (doing that when it is in a grid column is harder).

Ctrl+X - cut your combo from form
Ctrl+Click the grid (edit mode - or rigthclick edit)
Click the desired column
Ctrl+V - paste

Set column currentcontrol to your combo's name.
If you want the combo to show up all the time then set column's sparse to .F.
