Sparse is .f. for these columns.

Here is my current code in the combo's valid method

this.Value = this.Value 
thisform.ChangeOperator()

And the ChangeOperator code has

thisform.cntOperatorButtons.cmdEdit.Enabled = not EMPTY(csrOperators.op_code)
WITH thisform.grdOperators 
     .colEmail.my_checkbox1.enabled = not EMPTY(csrOperators.Email)   
     .colNetSend.my_checkbox1.enabled = not EMPTY(csrOperators.NetSend)   
     
     .colPager.my_checkbox1.enabled = .f. && not EMPTY(csrOperators.Pager)   
     .colSMS.my_checkbox1.enabled = .f. && not EMPTY(csrOperators.SMS)   
     .colTwitter.my_checkbox1.enabled = .f. && not EMPTY(csrOperators.Twitter)   
ENDWITH

I think this code is not what I want as the effect is that all checkboxes become disabled. I was thinking of trying some complex solution based on refresh, but I guess I will go with the commonly accepted solution of two controls in each column instead.
