I tell you Cetin, you're good!

The ActiveX thing didn't work out, I still got blanks on all rows without the focus and (Microsoft Support says it can't be done).

However your >this.myColumn.CurrentControl = "myEditbox" in a Dynamic* property worked just fine on the framework memo in grid problem.

Thanks,
-Curtis
