Hi Nadya.

I hoped Marcia would check this thread and think about idea of creating a FAQ. I know, she wrote books and lots of articles, but neverless, FAQ here would be useful as well. I just see few questions here repeatedly...

Sorry I did not respond to this earlier. I have been swamped and I just saw the thread.

As a matter of fact, Chapter 5: Combos and Lists of 1001 Things You Wanted to Know About Visual FoxPro is one of the free sample chapters for the book and is available for download from Whil's site.

And I really must have read your mind, because you can download How to Put a Combo Box in a Grid as Presented by Marcia G. Akins at GLGDW 2000 from my website. Here is the abstract:

This session covers all aspects of using combo boxes inside grids. The combo box is a very useful control when you need to limit the options that a user may select from, but it is not easy to use well in any situation, and inside a grid it sometimes seems to acquire a life of its own. I will show you how to add combo boxes to your grids and how to make them display and behave properly. We will also cover how to use a view as the grid's RecordSource as well as the easiest and most effective way to use an updateable cursor as the grid's RecordSource. The session finishes by showing some really cool things you can do with a combo in a grid.
