In this case I'd simply go with what Ed and Bruce told you - use IIf(table.logical_field, "Yes", "No ") as a controlsource. Ed seems to use some quotes around it - try out with or without them until you get it to work, but it's surely the way to go. Or use a checkbox (but then you need to set .sparse for the column).

> Yes, you're right. One little problem here - I need to use my own class textMemo because I create my grid on the "fly", I mean in Init method. So, I need to use AddObject(....), etc.

AddObject is my favorite for more special grids. Gives you more control, and actually allows you to discard the default textbox without much clicking around.

> Actually, right now I solved this problem another way, which satisfied my manager: I know the name of Memo field of my table - Notes, it's only one, so I didn't put it in Grid, I put editbox on my Form instead... - easy solution, but definetely not universal...

I've done that, and I'm planning to make it universal enough. I like it for a search grid class - the searchable columns are in the grid, and the details on the active row are in several controls (including Editboxes) in a container to the right. In AfterRowColChange I just check if I've moved to a new record, and refresh the controls in the container. Works like a charm.

> I have one more unrelated problem - I see 50 messages in my UniversalThread mailbox and don't see new messages. What do I need to do - delete all prev. messages? How can I keep them?

You should see the latest 50 replies to your messages. If you don't see the new ones (like this one)... call Michel :).
