Sure. You just have to adjust the rowheight property of your grid and insert an edit box in the column that needs to show multiple lines. Be sure and set that column's sprse property to .F..

Keep in mind that you will have to make special provisions for data entry in this box: grids have special behavior for dealing with the enter and tab keys...
