>Set he grid.column.sparse to .F. and I think your problem will become a little clearer. My bet is that you have some format, inputmask or other properties set in the textbox that is causing the data to display strangely.

Actually, the problem turned out to be that the bound property was set to false. I have a co-worker now who knows VFP better than me. Very handy. :)

Thanks, though.
