>Yes .. thank you very much, BTW I want to combine the field in the DBgrid .. how to do that .. Jody ? for example I have 4 fields they are : COUNTRY, AREA, PHONENO, CUSTOMER , now I want to combine COUNTRY + AREA + PHONENO in a DBGrid
>so If I run the DBGrid will show ... PHONENO and CUSTOMER only ( I don't want to use SQL ) .. thanks again .. and good luck

Maybe someone can correct me, but I don't think that can be done with a data bound DBGrid without an SQL query from the database end or the VB end, unless you use an unbound DBGrid.

Best,
