Bob,

>I've figured this out. To me, it is a real killer. It makes grids mostly useless. Especially the feature of putting different controls in them. Compare and contrast with Powerbuilder equivalents.

Sorry, I don't really know anything about Powerbuilder.

>Unfortunately for me, it's not that simple. The real index into the cbo is a combination of fields. It wasn't my data design, but for legacy reasons, I have to live with it. That's the problem, combining fields to use the cbo in a grid.

You may be able to unbind the cbo and put some code in it's methods to get it to work the way you need.
