Hi Marcia,

I'll try to look into it next week as I have a current bug report outstanding with exactly this issue.

>I, OTOH, have done some really fabcy things with combos in grids. Sometimes it has been a lot of work, but the results have been worth it.

Oh... just as I did. It is just how you build them.

>but my experience with grids (that might exceed even yours (see the 10 or so grid bugs in VFP 8 I've submitted))

>I always thought that experience was measured by the number of successful applications one had delivered < s >.

I don't think so, Experience IMO is measured by time you spend with it and complexity of the succesfull and failed solutions you've created.

>say you want to keep it simple if you can.

>That is true for all parts of an application, not only grids.

True, however it is not always that obvious. If you'll look at all the applications out there you'll be amazed about the number of cases where the solution was sought into something complex while something simple would do (or even better). I would even dare to say that it is more difficult to think of logical and simple solutions than of more complex ones.

Hint: Most people always try to think of solutions of a particular problem in the way they used to look at that (or simular) problem in stead of looking at the big picture and all the other potential problems and solutions. Looking at the big picture, catch it into a simple concept and not only solve the inmediate problem, but also some potential related ones as well, is something that not every programmer is gifted with.
