>>>>I have a form with two grids on different pages. I create a cursor that is the record source for the grid on the second page based on the selection in the grid on the first page. I do this in the refresh of page 2, which specifically calls the grid's refresh. Both grids have only one column in which I have replaced the textbox with an editbox. The first time the grids are displayed, they are fine, but after refreshing, I seem to have a textbox again instead of my editbox, and despite resetting Sparse = .F. in the grid refresh, I only see "Memo" in that field. What am I missing?

Thanks, Erik! Worked like a charm!
