What happens is the grid shows the returned value for the 1st record in every record. Sortof like it ran the udf when the controlsource was defined only. Also, if I look at the actual control source, it is thisform.poform.mymethod('myvalue') which looks correct, but isn't since it's not working.

>>THISFORM.poForm = toForm

>>FOR i = 1 TO ALEN(toform.myarray,1)
>>   WITH THISFORM.grid1.Columns[i]
>>      lcType = TYPE(toform.myarray[i,1])
>>      do case
>>      case lcType = "C" && this works, even with the UDF

>>      endcase
>>      .controlsource = toForm.myarray[i,1] && normally this is just a field name
>>      * for the udf toForm.myarray[i,1] = "[thisform.poform.mymethod('myvalue')]" without quotes
>>      * so it does not work for udfs, it ends up the character string thisform.poform.mymethod('myvalue')
>>      * when the udf call is in a variable, how to set it here?
