Hi, Jeremy!

You do not need to upgrade, the problem seems not in that. See notes below.

Be sure, the problem is not in your search control. The problem is that grid column with your control shows incorrect field. You need to set grid.column.ControlSource to the MyTable.Item_Desc field. Remember that grid columns should always be bound to data field. Sometimes grid 'reset' bound fields, so you need to set up them again programmatically (this is not fixed in VFP6). Probably you doing in your code something like 'Grid.RecordSource = "something"'. This cause contro sources to shuffle to match order of fields in record source. After this command you need to set up control sources again programmatically.

HTH.
