>That example is way too specialized. There has to be a simple example of putting a combo in a grid. This CAN'T be that difficult!!!
Awww, sure it can <g>. Just want to be sure you were clear that the example you origianally cited was specifically for using the Rustemsoft third party controls.
From everything I can tell, using a cbo in a dgv pretty much means building the grid yourself, rather than dropping one on a form and setting the columnediting control type to cbo as one would expect. I think if I were going to use a lot of dgvs I'd be buying a control that would make all that a whole lot easier. ( I think Infragistics or maybe DevExpress gives one away as a sample but I may be wrong)

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
