Dave No I don't think so. Let me explain
Table (mytable) with one field (myfield) with three records (having values "value1", "value2" and "value3") Grid has recordsource set to "mytable), recordsource type is alias. Grid has one column and I want the grid to display three rows, each with the apropriate value from the table displayed. The catch is that I do not want the active control in the column to be a textbox or other object with a controlsource. I need the column to have an active control (currentcontrol) which is a label (obviously it would need to be subclassed somehow) or a container containing a label. Don't worry at this stage why I need this <g>. If I can get this simple, prototype working I will have solved the problem and I can explain all !
