Thanks George,

However I have tried setting the combo box's read only property to .f. in it's gotfocus method but somehow the control is set back to readonly at run time!

I have been unable to find any docoumentation to explain this behaviour.

Still Looking...

When clicking on the combo box drop down button, I get a notice in the status bar that the control is read only... and when checking in the debuger it indeed is, but is not set that way anywhere I can find, in fact attempts to set it otherwise are not sucessfull.

Sounds similar to a problem that I had with a check box that was programmatically added to the grid. The work-around was to explicitly set the ReadOnly property to .F.
