>>>>>>>I've developed a grid in which I have several numeric fields bound to an open database. So far every thing works fine. Let's say I have a field called 'Numbers'. What I like is to display the value of this field in my grid as follows: "Nr: XXX", where "XXX" is the value of the field 'Numbers'. How do I do that?

>Yes, that should work too for individual textboxes or entire grid columns. The inputmask works fine also. But I couldn't get any method to conditionally allow some textboxes to be formatted one way and others another way in a grid column -- it's "format all the same way only" evidently.
Maybe if you add an IF statement, but this one is really tricky!
