>Unfortunately I can't use this. Like I said in my original post, the grid doesn't have any predefined columns, and columns aren't created with code (Sorry, left that one out). I just "Use" the file, and then display the form. The Grid is setup so that it uses whatever is the active area, and builds it's own columns. I don't tell it which columns to use. See my dilemma?
If you don't currently use code to build the grid, perhaps you might consider doing it. Apart from populating memos, there are other things you might eventually do in code.
I don't see the code part to be the greatest problem. The main problem with my solution is that, as soon as you set the .ControlSource to any expression, the column becomes R/O. This may or may not be acceptable, depending on the specific needs in a certain situation.
