>I'm using combo-boxes in grids. Is there some sort of standard way to have the drop-down box look clean? With the default cell size in grids, I've had to turn off the 3-D look and get rid of a frame around the cell. I've also got SPARSE turned on.

What else are you looking for? FWIW, I usually set Combo.Margin = 0 in addition to the changes you mentioned.
