I am trying to fill a grid's properties at run-time (since the record source has to change). I am loading the grid column properties in to a form array property, but am having trouble when I try to add a new editbox in to a column. I need to have the scroll bars in the edit box. This is the code:

thisform.Pageframe1.Page2.grdList.recordsource='mgmtst'  
thisform.Pageframe1.Page2.grdList.Columns[lnCnt].Addobject('edtDescr','vcgridedit')
thisform.Pageframe1.Page2.grdList.Columns[lnCnt].Currentcontrol='edtDescr'
thisform.Pageframe1.Page2.grdList.Columns[lnCnt].controlsource='descr'

When I run the form, this column does not show any data. It is just grey. I've turned sparse on / off with the same result.

any ideas?

thanks

bonnie
