>That would be a bug. However, we can take a different look at this. Windows UI Guidelines recommend "Documentcentric" applications. Word and Excel are examples of this. Open a new document or spreadsheet and it's available for editing. For a database application this means that when you open a form, the fields are available for editing. You don't press another "Edit" button.

Certainly it's a bug if SDI is something you can use. Have fun with textbox and grid coloring w/o a single line of code intending it :)
