When I put a combo in the grid, I get a default of white text on dark blue when it is selected.

One thing that makes it difficult to read is that, for the default grid row height, the combo box is small enough that the borders obscure much of the text. You might try resizing the row height and see if your text visibility doesn't improve.

>It's set-up this way so that a foreign key is stored in the "RO" table when they select an entry. This stuff works fine. The problem I'm having is that when the cell is selected, you can't read anything because the colors are like a black on dark blue combination. I've played with probably 50 different combinations of BackColor/ForeColor/DisabledBack and Fore,SelectedBack and Fore, etc. in both the column and the combo but I can't seem to make it turn out any better. Anyone have any color combo that will work OK with this set-up?
