>>Hello All,
>>
>>I am new to the UT and a intermediate (at best) VFP9 programmer so bare with me. 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 was just telling John that most of the experts (not all of them - Cetin if I recall doesn't not object direct editing in grids) would advise avoiding direct Grid Data Entry.
