When ever i make cornbread it is always way to crumbly. Good, yes but it falls apart if you even think of touching it. Anyone one got any sujestions?

Maybe a bit more moisture. Try adding a couple of egg whites or an egg or a bit of milk (or cream.)
Personally, I would try the egg whites first. They add moisture & they are a binding agent.

You should add either some vegetable oil or melted butter/margarine. For a typical 8-9" pans worth add a few tablespoons worth. If you can get Albers corn meal there is an excellent recipe on the side of the bag.

You might try adding a bit of AP flour to the mix. That should help with the hold togetherness of the cornbread.
Also, try letting the mixture rest for a few minutes before putting into the baking vessel.

Add 1 more egg to the batch your mix is too dry.

You might want to add a bit more moisture- most likely a tiny bit more shortening.
