I suppose you've checked the obvious. The grid and the grid column are both read/write?

>>>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.

>>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.
