How about:
Column.ControlSource = ThisForm.MySpecialFormat(IntegerField)
local lcReturnValue
do case
case IntegerField = 1
lcReturnValue = "Msg 1"
...
return padr(lcReturnValue, 10)
Another option is nested iif's, but this is hard to read.

>I have a grid with a few columns. One of the columns references an integer field. This field can have one of 5 basic values. Is there a way to dynamically convert the integer value to a text description in the column? i.e. Instead of displaying the field value of 1 the column would display "Msg 1", instead of field value 2 the column would display "Msg 2", and so forth. Any easy solution?
