Kendall,

>I have a MM datagrid, populated using a MM BO that is setup for editing and deleting. It is working fine without the FK columns . Now I want to build the FK columns to display the friendly name value of the FK in display mode, and present a dropdown list when in edit mode. So I setup a template column and inserted a MM textbox control in the ItemTemplate and inserted a MM dropdown control in the EditItemTemplate. I set the binding properties for those controls and ran the page. Ha! Didn't work, so back to the drawing board.

When you say it didn't work, did you get an error or it just didn't bind? Does it work if you use a regular combo box?

Regards,
