:) If this means you don't want to sparse = .f. then you might check tricky ways (not sure how good it would be - still should increase rowheight) :

*Column
  .Bound = .f.
  .Controlsource = "(iif(seek(mytable.id,'LookUp','pk'),"+;
       "Lookup.Desc,'')"
  .CurrentControl = 'cbo'
*Column.Text1
  .Controlsource = "(iif(seek(mytable.id,'LookUp','pk'),"+;
       "Lookup.Desc,'')"
*Column.Cbo   
  .Controlsource = 'myTable.id'
  * others as should be

>I'd love to see this work. Thanks Cetin keep you posted. I guess we had discussed sparse before, but I have some mental block against sparse as it modifies the grid's appearance and then you have to set cbo properties of style & others to make it look normal <g>.
