No custom classes or anything... but I did notice that the class browser's code had "ADD OBJECT text1 AS Text box" three times! Once for each column.

So I guess I 'must' use the class library approach, right?

Thanks

Also, is it possible that you had some customized classes being used in the grid, like textboxes and the like, where the class definition is not being loaded or created? That could explain the Sparse problem.
