If you have a copy of "1001 Things You Wanted to Know ABout VFP" (Akins, Kramek, Schummer - Hentzenwerke, 2000), there is an example of exactly this kind of multi-select grid in chapter 6. You can also download ingrid (an incremental search textbox) from the files section here.

Hi Marcia,

Maybe I'm missing somethimg but I don't see how multiselect grid solves a problem for a user to see at glance what was selected already. It's very easy for him/her to get lost with 1500 records in the grid.
