So what exactly is your problem? You want the data to be displayed but to be updateable? If you WANT to display the data in a grid can't you read it from the array into a cursor, and have this as the source of the grid?

If you're happy with (or prefer) a listbox then what is the code you've tried to populate the box, that gave you the grey square?
