Hi Mark.

So you are saying that if a dropdown list could be made read only, it would no longer work in a grid? That sounds like a bug to me.

Not my data entry grid < s >. I leave the column's Sparse property set to .T. And I set up the Column ControlSOurce as

( IIF( SEEK( MyAlias.MyField, 'MyLookupTable', 'MyTag' ), LookupTable.Description, '' ) )

This has the effect of making the column ReadOnly. But if I have a drop down list in the grid column, I can still change its data because ReadOnly applies only to the portion of a control that accepts text < s >.

Does that clarify my earlier statement?
