>I have to design a form that needs about 26 columns going across. Because of the system we work in a have to get this on a form that is only 633 wide. They only way I could think of doing this is by using a grid with the bottom scroll bar. By chance is there some other way of doing this. Is there some type of OLE automation that I can build into the form and be able to call excell and then still save that info to a dbf? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel the grid with 26 fields will look very sloppy.

26-column grid will look no more sloppy than 26-column Excel. You may automate Excel if you want, and exchanging data between DBF and spreadsheet is simple enough, especially if number of records is small, but if the only purpose is to show multi-column data that stay with VFP grid.
