Darrell,
It sounds like you want to look at the column's Sparse property. I think you want to set Sparse to .F.

>I know it has been awhile since you thought about this subject, but it certainly relates to what I am attempting to do. I have a memo field that I want to display in a grid. I have added a command button in a grid column to call a different form for editing the memo. All is working fine EXCEPT that the command button will not display properly. The button only appears when focus is on that column in the grid. Any suggestions??????
