>>I was trying to get this to work in a grid with Sparse on (screen update was horrible with Sparse off). In the grid, when not selected, the column shows a textbox with the bound value in it. You can't, or aleast I haven't been able to manipulate that control. The one that displays the value when the column doesn't have focus. Again it works really well outside the grid.

I didn't. I thought it couldn't be. but at your suggestion, I found a procedure in Help to remove it. I was able to remove the text1. I will have to try it this evening/tomorrow the my grid with the dropdown to see how it affects the display. I hope this works!

Thanks,
