James,
Take a look at yesterday's (or the other day - I'm not sure) messages. I can't remember the title but it was about showing BMP, JPG, GIF in a grid. trick is to use a Dynamic* property.
When a framework kicks in things might change. In init of grid might try to add code :

local lRetVal
lRetVal = dodefault()
this.myColumn.CurrentControl = "myEditbox"
this.myColumn.Sparse = .F.
return lRetVAl

>>Hi James,
>>Are you sure CurrentControl is Editbox. Is it a cursor or table. If a cursor what's the original Recordsource and Recordsourcetype settings ? And is it a base class grid or subclassed ?
