Naomi,

Thank you for the assistance. Sergei's solution did the trick before I had a chance to try this out.

>>Hello all,

>>I've wrestled with this before but can't remember the solution or best workaround. In a grid column I have a container with several fields. The bound fields all display the correct info. However, I have one unbound edit box that displays a text string that's a combination of a number of fields (name & address). This control displays the current record info in all rows, rather than each row's data.
>>
>>I've assigned the value of this edit box in the control's refresh and also tried to assign it in Value_assign(). Is there some trick that can make this work? In the past, I believe I've just pre-populated a memo field with the strings to be displayed, but that's not terribly practical in this case.

>>TIA
