I need to create an app that will give the user a list of items that they can then check off to denote that they are copleted. I would prefer a scrollable grid where they can make multiple selections. I would prefer to create a Windows app, but don't know which control to use. Can you give me some ideas or direction on where to go to find out? Thanks!

FarPoint spread is very powerful but it comes with added complexity and cost. What is your development platform?
For VB6 and VS.NET in order of simplicity try a listbox, listview, or grid control. Personally, I like listviews for a non-editable, sortable, multi column, checked list. Listboxes are simple to use for a single column checked list. Once you pick the tool that best suits your needs, there are a few tricks to learn.

Depending you how you will deploy or mange your app you might want to go with web pages.

You should provide more info about your app so you can get some better advice.
