Are You saying you want to have a multirow header? If so VFP's grid cam't do it. you may be able to simulate the effect with some clever coding but basically it doesn't do it. You need a 3rd party ocx like ones from Sheridan or True DB Grid.

Or upgrade to VFP 7.0 - it supports Multi-line wrapping grid column headers. (

Rick, do you know any easier way of putting a combo box into a grid by foreign key? I tried using a label as the main control and just update the caption of it, but the label does not display unless you click on the cell.
Weedz suggested parameter views and the Tasmanian example is a "fiddle".

In either case, make sure you set the column Sparse property to .F. - this will allow the updates to be shown "immediately" without the click. (Note: Since I don't remember explicitly using a label in a grid, you may have to do a Refresh() - just on the label not the whole form - on it just after you change the caption, but probably not.)

yeah, thanks, you set the column to sparse.

but how do i refernce what the user selected if I base my grid on a sql statement? Its not the same as a listbox, where you have the selected property.
