>AFAIK, view doesn't require GRID.Recordsource=Grid.Recordsource line. If you cannot remove this line then you have two alternatives: either enforce combo by Column.RemoveObject/AddObject (combo should be instanciated from class with needed code in Combo.Init event), or populate grid from read-write cursor which takes data from your view (here you don't need in restoring grid settings).

I don't know if it's required; I just figured better safe than sorry. The grid doesn't know if it's source is a view, table, or cursor.

Actually, there's a third workaround that's not so complicated. I just have to move the SQL to the init of the combobox. I was just hoping there was a way to fix it in the grid class so I don't have to put that restriction on the comboboxes.

Oh well, can't win 'em all. :)

Thanks for your help.
