Sorry, I should have described this part better, but forgot - in fact *I* had to think a moment when doing this today.

1. Go to your Form Controls toolbar.

2. Click the 'library' icon (several books)

3. Select ADD

4. Use the file selector to pick the VCX containing the control you want to add to the grid

5. Now on the grid (in your form) make sure the column you're adding to is selected. Then click first on the icon for the control (in the toolbar) and then on the column (in the grid). When you look at your property sheet you'll see that the control has been added to the column

6. Go to the column properties and reset the currentcontrol to the new control.

7. Repeat as needed for each column

>Well I thought I was able to add a textbox class to my grids by selecting the column I wanted then dragging it onto the column from the class list. I get "cannot add this object to a grid." What's the proper way to add a textbox class to a grid column in the form designer? Or even class designer? Do I have to use the AddOBject method?
