>Damn Nadya, you have a way of sounding condencending when I'm pretty sure you're not trying to be. What I exactly want to achieve is exactly what I said, but the problem was with a refresh, so it's a non-issue now.

That's perhaps because I was thinking about tooltip for the grid problem which is really a very tricky one. It is solved very nicely on a Russian web-site and I used that approach in one of my latest VFP applications. I was working on this problem at my last day on the job.
