I would like to add an ACT-like ID Status control to my application and
wondered if anyone has tackled this or has a suggestion on how to go
about it? It is basically a combo box where you can select more than
one option to save in the control source. For example one client can be
Hot,
The control you're looking for doesn't exist in VFP. You could use a
grid containing two columns: a checkbox and the option. User can check
as many records as they want. Save more than one option in the
control source is not possible. In fact, those controls save as many

You could maybe use a multi-select list and binary OR the values together
and store as a single value.
1=Hot

4=BPOE
8=other

I agree, a multi-select list would probably not be the best (too easy to
lose your selections). Maybe a Treeview with the checkboxes would work
better? A grid with check boxes could still be used, just combine the
selected checked rows together and store that value. Jeff knows VFP, I'm

When I was looking at what the control does I thought of using several

Grigore: I was thinking of adding 8 checkboxes to the form and set the
