>Hello All
> Is there a way to display a value in the column of a grid based on a case or an if..endif structure? For example, in my application, I am displaying the aged transaction history for customers. In the table, there is a field called "type" that describes the type of transaction in the A/R transaction file, "1" = Invoice, "2" = Adjustment, "8" = Cash Receipt, etc.. The data type is numeric. In the grid that displays the table, I would like to display "IN" if the type = 1, "CA" if the type = 8 etc. I do not know why the original designers of the application made this field numeric, I am converting this application from Clipper and would reduce my headaches a lot if I didn't have to mess too much with the tables. So is there a way to parse the value of the given field in the table and display the appropriate 2 character message. All suggestions appreciated.

1. Create a property (to form, your grid class or your textbox class that you use in grid)
2. Create Access method of this property in which to have your "Do CASE" code, (1-invoice, 2-Adjustment, etc.).
3. Set the ControlSource of the column in which you want to display the value to the property
