>Hello All,

I am trying to create a "Smart Grid" where the end users can enter data directly into the grid with intellegent look up drop down boxes in the grid. Any examples or suggestions out there? Thanks in advance to your help.

I thought about myself that I am a level up than intermediate user (this is just my thoughts, no need to be true :o)))
And I suggest you NOT to use Grid for this.
Grid is good when you SHOW data but it turns to a nightmare when you try to use it for data editing.
It is very hard to validate data when you use Grid.
So use grid when you want to show the data and use separate form for editing it (Add new records and edit old ones). Deleting records is easy,
