>>I'm updating a Foxpro/DOS 2.5 classroom attendance app. In it, a browse window listed the students in each class, all columns were frozen except for the attendance mark, which accepted 'P', 'A', or 'T' for present, absent or tardy. Even though it violates the 'Don't enter data in a grid' rule of thumb, this is the best interface solution: Mark one student and the grid automatically moves to the next student for input.

>>Updating it to VFP 8 was easy except for the attendance mark column. Ideally, I'd like to accept and display single keystrokes like a textbox and do a reverse lookup and store the key value like a combobox. Putting a combobox in the grid makes the interface a lot clunkier. But I don't know how to accomplish that, can anyone offer ideas?

>Format :M
That won't make the textbox store an integer lookup value while displaying the character.
