Paul, You can set the recordsource up to be =User_Defined_Function(vParameter)
And in the UDF you can retrieve and return any value you need. In your case you could pass the Grid recordsource for the grid I guess. Is this what you mean? Dave Crozier And in the Function -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Newton Sent: 07 June 2007 10:21 To: profox@leafe.com Subject: Faking it - ControlSource Hi all I have a grid and in one column I need to put a control which does not have a native controlsource property. The column needs to have have sparse set to .F. and each row in this column should have a display/value dictated by a value from a table whci is the recordsource for the grid. The simplest example might be that the control is a label and I need its caption to be "bound" to the recordsource. Another example might be a container whose contained objects need to have properties bound to the recordsource. A third example might (?) be an ActiveX control (NOT oleBound) that I want to behave like an olebound control - although I don't need this right now. Can something like this be done ?
