OK
BTW this is how I wanted to do it
myvalue=self.Form. somefunction()
self.lkgrid.Columns[0].DataField = myvalue
But in Larry's case I did not know how to take input for the cell. Recall
Larry's case was both display and input from the user covered. So he used
the setter and getter of the cell.
Anyway, thanks for hearing me out.
