>I am struggling for some time know with the formatting of the currency datatype in a grid. By seeting the format to "$" and the inputmask to "999.999,99$", i get the rigth formatting, but only if the textbox has the focus. If it doesn't, it still has the standard currency format.

Vincent,

(1) if the textbox has an inputmask, set the column.Sparse = .F.

or (2)
Set the DynamicInputMask of the column to '999,999,999.99' for EUR and '99,999,999,999' for BEF.
Or '@Z 999,999,999.99' for EUR and '@Z 99,999,999,999' for BEF in order to not display zero values

If the column can hold both BEF and EUR (eg all invoices for a client), you need a currency indicator per line/record.
Then :

Grid.Column12.DynamicInputMask = [iif(Table.Currency_id =='BEF', '99,999,999,999', '999,999,999.99' )]
