Hello Marcia,

I have "1001 things" and was looking this up before I posted here! Its nice to be replied to by a genuine Fox "celeb" :)

I am using VFP8 SP1. Its either not been fixed or its a different problem. Its a real shame because I have developed a combo class around this requirement and it all works great apart from this "display" issue. If you have any further thoughts on this, they would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Angie.
