if the controlsource of the column is different by the one of the control you use u should set the boud property of column to .f.


>Grid:
>

>RecordSource = users
>RecordSourceType = 1 - Alias
>ReadOnly = .F.
>

>
>Column1:
>

>ControlSource = users.sendmsg
>CurrentControl = chkntm1
>ReadOnly = .F.
>Sparse = .F.
>Bound = .T.
>

>
>Column1.Chkntm1:
>

>ControlSource = users.sendmsg
>ReadOnly = .F.
>Enabled = .T.
