I have no idea what you said. I had to make a guess...

Place a textbox on your form, remove it's border, and set it's visibility to false. Name it txtflex, and name your flexgrid as flex.

VB Code:
  1. Private Sub flex_Click()

  2.  
  3. txtflex.Top = flex.Top + flex.CellTop

  4. txtflex.Left = flex.Left + flex.CellLeft

  5. txtflex.Visible = True

  6. txtflex.Text = flex.Text

  7. txtflex.Width = flex.CellWidth

  8. txtflex.Height = flex.CellHeight

  9.  
  10. End Sub

  11.  
  12.  
  13. Private Sub txtflex_Validate(Cancel As Boolean)

  14.  
  15. flex.textmatrix(flex.row, flex.col) = txtflex.text

  16. 'or code to update db

  17.  
  18. txtflex.visible = false

  19.  
  20.  
  21.  
  22. End Sub
