Thanks Karen, Lawrence, and Claudine for the replies. I am trying to convert a form that was created in A**ess and it has checkboxes and lookups in it. I have to odbc it suck it into the main system. Checkboxes and lookups are my only hangup. I am going to try a scrolling region and try to mimic a dbgrid as much as possible. DB Grids have came a long way since its introduction. The only things I think it is missing is the lookups and a checkbox. I will submit it on the wish(enhancement) list. Dan Goldberg

But lookups are what keeps me going to scrolling region. What you can do is trap the PK of the row into a form expression and on a "row enter" eep display the variable info off to the side. But you would only see data for 1 row at a time. I want to place a column as a variable lookup from another table but have not figured out how yet. The user needs to be able to edit/add/delete rows. A sample of my db grid table PartNumber Description(lookup) Quantity A286 Computer 286 1 A386 Computer 386 3 Has anybody been able to do this?? I can do it with a scrolling region but the db grid is more functional and cleaner. TIA Dan Goldberg
