>>Be careful what you wish for. If your users are not limited by how much data they can place in the memo field you could "blow up" your grid. Anyway, I think you would have to programmatically do this with a calculation based on how many memLINES are in the memo field and how much height you need per line based on font/fontsize, etc.

>And remember that there is only one rowheight setting per grid. IOW, each row cannot be dynamically sized independent of the others. If you did manage to set rowheight on the basis of the contents of the active row, you would still end up with a really funny looking grid (and after all that hard code!).
>Instead, you might want to think about putting an edit box just below the grid (or wherever) that would show the contents of the memo field in the active row of the grid.

Erik,
I already thought about the edit box below the grid, but I would like to see as much of the data as possible. What I have done before is had a field with 55 characters and just had the user add another record but you lose that word wrapping feature. I would like it to look something like

-ITEM QTY DESCRIPTION UNIT
- 1 1 ALL OFF THE TEXT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO 100.00
- TYPE TO YOUR LITTLE HEARTS CONTENT NOW
- WOULD THAT BE GREAT
- 2 1 JUST SOME MORE STUFF ETC ETC ETC 25.00

any Ideas

Jon
