Try changing the Controlsource of the TextBox control that is displayed when Spares = .T. for the Column to the value you want.
>I have a grid based on a view that contains a listbox that displays a value other than the controlsource. The listbox is BoundTo a surogate key that is not displayed in the listbox (columnwidth = 0). Using Sparse = .f. the screen update is too slow and looks horrible. With sparse = .t., the grid displays the surrogate key.
