>I am experencing the following problem on a VFP 5 project. When the checkbox is added to the grid it behaves as if it is "readonly". Without the checkbox the column is writeable. I have tried many different sequences of property settings without achieving a solution. Any ideas?

Hi,
Missing piece is a visible = .t. after addobject.

>select .f. as lbill,fldb from table into cursor cur1
USE DBF("cur1") IN 0 AGAIN ALIAS cur2
with thisformset.frmA.grdA
        .recordsource = ""
        .columncount = -1
        .recordsource = 'cur2'
        with .columns(1)
	  .AddObject('zcb','checkbox')
	  .zcb.caption = ''
          .zcb.visible = .t.
	  .sparse = .f.
          with .header1
	    .alignment = 2
	    .caption = 'Bill'
	    .FontBold = .t.
          endwith
	  .width = 32
        endwith
        with .columns(2).header1
	  .alignment = 2
	  .caption = 'ID'
	  .FontBold = .t.
        endwith
	.Columns(2).width = 50
endwith
