Jason,

Thanks, I think OnGetDisplayText is exactly what I need.

However, I'm not quite sure how to access the data that this event function points to with the ACol and ARow integer values. I could be missing it, but I don't see any methods or properties that accept integer values and return the text contained in the grid cells at those coordinates.

If I have to get the data from the dataset, how do I get a pointer to the column in the dataset referenced by a certain row and column integer value?
