Hi Pete,

It's not possible in the current version, I'm afraid.  The nearest you could 
get would be to trap an EGW_CELLCHANGE when the user navigates out of the 
dropdown and set the value at that point. Alternatively, if you only have a 
short list of values, maybe you could use a series of checkbox columns, one
for each choice, and set values according to the selection e.g. selecting
checkbox column 'Today' would a)set today's date and b) uncheck checkbox 
column 'Tomorrow'.

This should all get a lot easier with EuGrid v2.00 - assuming I ever finish
it, that is 

Sorry to disappoint.

Regards,

Phil
