Hi Allan,
I suspect you might have "something" in the ControlSource of the base class
for the TextBox


>I have created a container with a text field and a command button which I would like to include in a grid.
>It will be used to enter a value which will be looked up in another table. The user can also click on the command button which will display all of the look-up values (in another grid) from which they can pick one.
>The problem that I am having is setting the 'current control' in the column.
>If I try to use the containername.textfield I get an error 'Expression evaluated to an illegal value'. I have set sparse to false.
>
>Previously, I used a combo box in the column but am now moving away from them due to a bug that was documented here.
>
>Any suggestions as what I am doing wrong with the container or a better way to accomplish the same task are appreciated.
>
>TIA.
