>Cetin.. good memory you have there :P I've already set sparse to .f. but i dont quite understand how the multiselectgrid is supposed to work. can u elaborate further? the checkboxes still didnt appear for all the records. only one at a time.
Susan,
Where did you set sparse = .f. It should be at column containing checkbox control. Also, currentcontrol should be checkbox (might it be it's in DynamicCurrentControl ?).
MultiSelectGrid is for replacing Multiselect combos. It works like explorer selection (Space, Ctrl+Click, Shift+Click etc). Selected records are highlighted, header click sorts on column, current column header has yellow background etc. It's either created on the fly passing parameters (lcSQL, lcOriginalTableName) or in designer (set its cSQL, cOriginalTable properties then). Each multiselect (there can be mutipl at a time) grid, generates a new name for its own cursor. You reach it via .myMultiselectGrid.RecordSource. When grid removeobjected or its form released, recordsource is also closed in its destroy. So you must use it before grid has gone. I had included samples with it AFAIK. It's easy to use because its cursor is an SQL copy of its source with a few more fields added (like recno if selected from just one table).
