Marcia,

I am using a combo (style 2 - dropdown combo) in a grid for a column which is bound to an integer foreign-key. When the combo gets the focus, any displaytext longer than 11 characters is "truncated". Here are the essentials:

[USING VFP6.0]

Column Properties
Bound = .t.
ControlSource = "orderitems.CatalogID" && datatype = integer
Sparse = .f.

(Orderitems is the recordsource for the grid. The form displays a single order and all items using the grid.)

Combo Properties
BoundColumn = 2
BoundTo = .t.
RowSource = "SELECT Long_Desc, ID FROM Catalog INTO CURSOR qCursor ORDER BY 1"
RowSourceType = 3 - SQL Statement
Style = 0 - Dropdown Combo

Your advice on another thread indicated that changing the rowsourcetype for the combo from 2/6 to 3 would resolve this issue. I have not found that to be true.

Do you know of any additional information about the "truncated displaytext" problem I am experiencing (i.e. fixed in Vfp7?)

Regards,
Ed Myers
