>Many of us, however, will place a Checkbox in a container object in order to center the check box -- the check box is centered in the container [based on container width], and the container width is based on the width of the column. Then we drop the container in the grid column. To make it work, I have had to put code in the column init to bind a data field to the checkbox -- this.container1.checkbox1.controlsource = mytable.fieldname

John (via Mark),
And unless you have a logical field for this purpose already in your table you will have to use a read/write cursor in the grid with a logical field to assign to the checkbox. If I understand your question, you want the checkbox so you can select a batch of records, so you will have to add a field to the cursor or view.
