Thanks MartinJ, However I have tried that, several times, and in several methods with no change in results.

I appreciate your assistance, but am still looking...

After adding combo in column, set property ControlSource again.

>>I'm designing a form with a grid containing job assignements for a given period the source is a cursor from a select command in the form's load method. one column contains a combo box containing a list of the employees assigned to the job using as it's source a differnet cursor also from a select statment in the form's load method with a where clause to the jobid.

>>I can not seem to get the combo box to open it's list! 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.
