Hi Dragan,

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).

(I try checkbox before and I don't like it).

I tried and tried and tried ... - and tried on the test form - just greed with all fields and what I finally see in my column (I use quotations, because without them I have an error message):

iif(bldMstr1.ADCDesc,'Y','N') - In the whole column :)) or :(((((((((
instead of Y or N

So, I found something weird here and can not win...

As for my actual form - I put the quotations and still have blank grid...

So, may be I'll continue my fight tomorrow, but may be not - because only I want to find "istina" here (forgot this word in English right now) and my manager doesn's care ...

Yes, you're right. One little problem here - we work as a team and use predefined set of classes, and I am not a person, who can change our classes.

Sure, I can design my own and use it in my app, but don't want...

>> 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.

May be you can send me a sample? (nnosonov@thewarrengroup.com)

>> 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 :).

Yes, you right again. But if I have 50 I can not say by number if I received new messages or not, I have to check them. So, now I have 45 and if tomorrow I'd have more it means I got something :)

Thanks all of you for your patience and responses.
