Hi James,

I'd create a container class with all those fields, that you need to display in one single column. Then I'd remove the default textbox and use the before defined container control.

You can try this out by creating a new form with a grid that contains two columns. Within form.load just create a cursor with three field like this:

CREATE CURSOR crsTest (cfield1 c(30), ifield2 i, dfield3 d)
INSERT INTO crsTest(cfield1, ifield2, dfield3) VALUES ([lots of aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa],1,DATE() + 1)
INSERT INTO crsTest(cfield1, ifield2, dfield3) VALUES ([lots of bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb],2,DATE() + 2)
GO TOP

Now exchange the textbox for a container. Within container.init put this code:

This.AddObject([text1],[Textbox])
This.AddObject([text2],[Textbox])
This.Text1.Width = 200
This.Text2.Top = This.Text1.Top
This.Text2.Left = This.Text1.Left + This.Text1.Width + 10
This.Text1.ControlSource = [crsTest.cField1]
This.Text2.ControlSource = [crsTest.iField2]
This.Text1.Visible = .T.
This.Text2.Visible = .T.

Set Grid.RowHeight to 22 and Grid.Column1.Sparse to .F.

Last but not the least, in Grid.Column2.Text1.init put this line of code

This.ControlSource = [crsTest.dField3]

This should give you a rough impression.
