>>I have a column in a grid which contains checkboxes. The sparse property is set to .f. so the user can see the whole column of checkboxes. I would like the checkboxes to be in the center of the column instead of on the left. I tried using the alignment property of the column but it didn't seem to do the trick (in fact it gave me an error). Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for the tip and the code. Works like a charm.
