Chuck,
Combo box and Drop-down List box are the same control. A Combo allows the user to add data not already in its rowsource, and a Drop-down List box requires users to use the list stored in the RowSource.

Now that THAT is cleared up, I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you want. You can put a combo (either sort) into a grid replacing the default text box if you want. First make sure the column you are adding the combo to is the active item in the property sheet. Then click on the Combo button and click on the column anywhere. When you look at the property sheet you'll see 'combo1' is added right after 'text1'. Use the column's 'currentcontrol' property to set which control you want active. Then just set up the combo the way you would if it were on the form.

I don't think you can add a combo to a browse screen (at least I don't know how myself).
