Graham, Example on my site that may help. I adapted it from some code I had from Pamela Thalaker. The image "picture" property is refreshed by assigning a field view/table value to the property in a user added acces method for the BackStyle of the container used as a currentcontrol in the grid. The demo also shows that multi controls can be held in a container for each row in the grid

What I'm thinking is that this will look nice in a grid with an embedded container to contain the items above. As with all things this is proving more difficult than I was expecting ! I've created the grid, created the container to hold the picture and text, added the container to column(1), set sparse to .t. and activecontrol to the container. This gives a data type mismatch error. Question is what I'm trying to do possible with a grid and could anyone give me any pointers please.
