The datagrid doesn't display any combo (whatever the property you set!)


This example uses a list box, but you can replace the name of the list control with a combobox to achieve the same result :

Replace grdCensus with your grid control name.

First in the click command of the list/combo control :

Private Sub DBList1_Click() 

grdCensus.Col = 2 'replace with the column you need 
grdCensus.Text = DBList1.Text 
grdCensus.SetFocus 
grdCensus.Col = 3 'the next col you want to have focus 
DBList1.Visible = False 

End Sub 

In the RowColChange event of your grid : 

With grdCensus 
'in the code below replace 2 with your column # 
   If .Col = 2 And .Text = "" Then 
      DBList1.Left = .Left + .Columns(2).Left 
      DBList1.Top = .Top + (.Row * .RowHeight) + SSTab1.Top 
'the line below makes sure the list isn't being shown off 
'the bottom of the screen. You'll need to adjust the value 
'3600 as needed depending on your forms size and position 
      If DBList1.Top > 3600 Then DBList1.Top = 3600 
      DBList1.ZOrder 0 
      DBList1.Visible = True 
      DBList1.SetFocus 
   Else 
      DBList1.Visible = False 
   End If 
end with
