Thanks Peter. Further reading suggests that Flexgrid comes with developer tools, so I do have the right to distribute it. However, elsewhere I read that it's not supported within the Access environment. I'll see what the client says. Best Edward

Edward, I aggree and I think the Web site I mentioned in my second post confirms that. Yes, the FlexGrid is not a native ActiveX control for Access but it works just fine (except for a couple of facilities) as my demos demonstrate so I don't think you will have any problems using it in an Access environment. I have written several database apps using this control, if you would like to see one just email me and I will send you a copy. Peter Hibbs.
