By the way,

Since you are a UT SysOp perhaps you will be able to answer this :

I have just realised that item (3) of the solution I posted yesterday
had been cropped and the reason is that the UT software gets rid of
anything that is enclosed inside angled brackets (Less Than and Greater Than).

Why is that ? One of the great Internet standards to indicate GRIN is the use
of a lowercase "g" inside two angled brackets. I used that once or twice
only to find that it had been erased by the UT software. I know that you
can always use :), but certain habits do die hard.

Anyway, here is the solution again, with the angled brackets taken off
so that the UT software does not modify the posting :

1) Put two CheckBox controls in the grid column, one with the caption you want for a
ticked CheckBox and the other with the caption you want for an un-ticked CheckBox.

2) In each of the CheckBoxes WHEN event put : This.Refresh to ensure that
the CheckBox column cell gets refreshed as you click on it rather than when you
do something else like changing column, row, or scrolling.

2) Set the Column's current control to NONE.

3) Set the Column's DynamicCurrentControl to :

IIF(Controlling_Variable/Field = .T., "Ticked_CheckBox_Name", "Un-ticked_CheckBox_Name")

4) Go for it !

Michel.
