Sorry to trouble you again. This cbo you had suggested works well. This cbo I have in a grid. As soon as I exit the cbo in the grid the Display from the description of the item changes to the iID of the item.

You have 2 options:

Set the sparse property of the column to false.

If the combo box is style 2-drop down list, you can set up the controlSource as something like this:

(IIF( SEEK( MyRecoursSource.MyKeyField, 'MyLookupTable', 'MyLookupIndex' ), MyLookupTable.Description, '' ) )

The reason this only works with a dropdown list is because setting up the column's ControlSource like this has the effect of making the column ReadOnly. However, ReadOnly only applies to the portion of a control that accepts text. Since a drop down list does not accept text, it cannot be made ReadOnly, so when it has focus you can still change the data.

If you must use a combo of style=0-drop down combo in the grid, hopefully you have subscribed to FoxPro Advisor. I had an article about a combo box in a grid class that handles this problem in the Febraury 2000 issue of the magazine called "Spice up Your Grid with a Combo". Here is the abstract:

Combo boxes provide a very intuitive way for users to choose from a fixed list, but making them work in grids is tricky. Here's a cookbook approach so that you can make combos and grids cooperate once and for all.

Unfortunately, I cannot post all the code required to make that class work because there is way too much of it.
