Hi Ed,

Just to add my 2 cents. Though you can use an editbox directly in a grid column to edit a memo, why would you? IMHO, it's easier and cleaner to do either of these:

1. Put editbox beside grid and size to same height as grid. Use this for memos.

or the way I prefer

2. Put a command button in the grid column that will activate a form class with an edit box for editing.

Not to say your approach is wrong, it just seems like more of a restricted editing area. HTH
