>I'm trying to use a spinner inside a grid column. I tie it to a control source at the column level, but am not able to make it spin at the control level. Much obliged for any suggestions.

depends on what you mean by "not able to make it spin"

If it doesn't appear as spinner - Make sure it's the column's CurrentControl, or remove the original default Textbox from the column.

If it's a spinner, but doesn't spin - check your max/min value properties.
