>I read here once (long ago) to center a check box in a grid column, you should put the check box in a container and center the container in the column. I'm not sure my memory is accurate, because I'm trying that without success. So, how does one center a check box in a grid column? fyi, my check box has no caption, the sparse property of the column is .F.

You have to manually center it within the container in the column's resize event.

But I think the results are not worth the trouble I always prefered to keep a short column for checkboxes. If the column caption is the problem, what I do is to use a shape to draw a line that points to a label above the grid with the caption, or just use tooltips.

Hope this helps.
