The only thing I can think of is to create an updatable view that also includes an extra field to hold the description of the DeedType. Whenever the Type is changed in the combo, use your InteractiveChange to replace the value in the description field to the current description.

Leave both controls, Combobox1 and Text1, in that column. Set the ControlSource of your combo to the Code field. Set the ControlSource of Text1 to the Description field of the view. The CurrentControl should be set to Text1. The DynamicCurrentControl should be "Combobox1"

>I have a work table, aliased as BldMstr in an application. This BldMstr table has a field (Char 2) called DeedType. We also have a lookup table, called DeedType, which has Code (PK) and FullName (description).

>I want to show DeedType field in a grid. This is the only one editable field (all other columns will be Read-Only). I want to use ComboBox for the current record. For all other records I'd like to show description rather than code, but I don't want to set Sparse=.t. and use combobox. Another little problem - user should be able to select blank value (it's already in a DeedType table) and the description should show nothing (it now says in FullName field of DeedType table), and the field value in a BldMstr table should become .NULL. (I set nulldisplay to "").
