You must have some code somewhere that's resetting the .SelStart property. I've tried in VFP6 and in VFP9 and I can't reproduce what you descrbibe.

If I have a grid and a textbox on a form, I can click in the grid (may or may not make changes to the text field there), then click into the textbox on the form (may or may not make changes there), then click back into the middle of a field on the grid, typing starts exactly where I clicked, it doesn't move to the beginning of the grid field. All of this was with a plain grid and a plain text box, no custom code of any sort.

>If the user clicks in a grid cell(may or may not do any typing), then into a main form control(say they forgot to fill in a text box), now they click back into the grid cell they left at the end of the string. When a key stoke is made the cursor will jump back to the begining of the string. This will not happen if the user clicks into any other grid cell before they click into the one that had focus or click the cell twice.

>If I turn the interactiveChange code off in the cell control this does not happen. But why would it work ok in the first situation.
