I recall reading in the NE docs that display of visualobjects on top of each other is unreliable; which I took to mean you're never sure which will appear on top. I was thinking of approaching the same problem by displaying a 1-char value in the superField, and putting the checkboxes just to the right (or left) of the grid. You might try hiding the superField in question, but I suspect that when you hide a grid form SF, the other SFs close up around it. -- //////////////// ======================================================= ////////// // Dennis J.
