Peter, Is the example you want completely in code or using the designer IDE?

VFP7 windows 7. Copied a previous form that had some stuff similar to what I want, then changed the grid round a bit. What I normally do with grids is not use the environment, and in the init put something like: thisform.grdsf.RecordSource = "dutyh" thisform.grdsf.column1.ControlSource = 'dutyh.dh_pk' thisform.grdsf.column2.ControlSource = 'dutyh.dh_fabrc' etc dh_fabrc is a 4 char code and want to get the data from a table with 4 char code and 30 char description. They pick the description and I save the code. I've added the combo to 2 columns (and removed the text box) and I have tried setting up the data source for the combo several ways. The trouble is when I run the form and click on the combo drop down it either won't drop down or only show 1 line. If I add items to the combo manually, like: thisform.GRdsf.COLumn2.COmbo1.AddItem('This is line 1') thisform.GRdsf.COLumn2.COmbo1.AddItem('This is line 2') thisform.GRdsf.COLumn2.COmbo1.AddItem('This is line 3') the combo now drops down but don't understand why it doesn't work the other ways (Rowsource type to 6 - fields and specified the field to pick, or rowsource = 3 - sql and put in a statement that works on other combos not in a grid) Messed about with sparse etc, but can't seem to see what's going on here.
