Tracy, I may be misunderstanding your focus, but the AddComboItem loop is in the Init of the form, before the form ever displays. Once the form displays, there are no speed issues and the combo is never loaded again....until a new instance of the form is called for.
The code in each of the ctGrid methods and events have to do with recalculating tax (calling a form method) popping up a messagebox if they enter an unknown "off the list" SKU, etc. None of them cause the ctGrid to redraw, adjust, or be modified in any way, either on purpose or not-on purpose. I turned off Windows Themes in the Win7 Control Panel>Personalization, no change. Set sys(2700,1) in the beginning of my MAIN.PRG, and it actually increased the times, on both the FAST and the SLOW scenarios. Bizarre!
