Gary,

OK, I think I got it all working now. The final problem I just fixed was I needed to make sure Bound = .t. for the 2 column so that THISFORM.catcodedescript() was bound.

So, thanks a million! and here is your reward = there should be stars somewhere here.

I can see why most people shy away from grids now, as seems like a lot of hoops.


Thanks,
Mel Cummings
