Hi Dorin,

I'm not sure why yoou dismissed OBJTOCLIENT(). Try

lnLeft = OBJTOCLIENT(Thisform.grid1.columnN,2)

>Hi all
>I want something like "in place editing" for a grid cell, but using another form object because the .ControlSource property for the column is an expression and the column is read-only.
>Can I find the .Left coordinate relative to parent form? Because OBJTOCLIENT() is not usable in this case.
>For relative .Top I succeded using ...
>Grid.Top + Grid.HeaderHeight + Grid.RowHeight * (Grid.RelativeRow-1)
>
>Thanks.
