As I scroll down the grid the cell text starts to go bold, and when I attempt to close the project I get the error "Not enough memory to complete this operation.". By using a performance monitor I was able to determine that the available GDI memory goes to zero just before the fonts start mucking up.

Kevin,
You simplified it for here and hope could this be applied in real situation :

  lnRows = .Rows - 1
  lnCols = .Cols - 1
  .row = 1
  .col = 1
  .RowSel = lnRows
  .ColSel = lnCols 
  .cellfontitalic = .t.	
  for lnRow = 1 to lnRows
    for lnCol = 1 to lnCols
      .row = lnRow
      .col = lnCol
      .Text = ltrim(str(lnRow)) + ", " + ltrim(str(lnCol))

Setting individual cells in flexgrid is a pain. Instead try binding to an ADO recordset or set text values directly in textmatrix array. Merging rows-cols as appropriate should also help.
