Can you set small example how this can be done. That's not quite what I said. I said that I'd found it was too easy for the user to make mistakes when editing in a grid especially where one used a combobox as the editor object for a cell.  Based on this I never use a grid for data entry or editing.  I always do data entry and editing in entryfields and/or comboboxes. Because I'm trying to make code I write for myself "SQL server ready"  I don't use datalinked entryfields or comboboxes.   On the other hand, if the code is never going to use data from a SQL server datalinked entryfields and comboboxes save a lot of coding. A grid can ONLY display data from a datalinked table.   If you want to, say, display data from an array in a grid you first have to write the array out to a temporary table. I'm not too well at the moment and I can't spend as much time at the computer as I would like.  I will, however, try and create a little example for you soon. Mervyn.
