Adding A Combo list to a grid 1

[cobweb]

Hi there:
I have created an orders database, with a header and detail table. An entry form has the details as a grid.
A third table is products. The cunning plan is to allow the user , when entering a detail line, to select from a drop down list in the grid an item from the products table.
Now I can create a combo that does all that - but I cannot get the combo to 'sit' on every line. Instead it sits over the grid as a single box - not a box per line. I can drag the thing anywhere on the form!
Microsoft Q138779 says "place a combo box in the third column"...but all mine do is sit on it!
Thanks!

Click on your grid, then right click on it and select 'Edit'. Drag a combobox control and drop it on the desired column.
In theproperties sheet, select CurrentControl for that column and in the dropdown for that column, select Combo1.
Also, for that coulmn, set the 'Sparse' property to .F.

See if that helps.
