Hello Wayne,

All the things you want to do can be done in VFP as you are describing. I personally only edit directly in a grid for something like inventory entry where only 1 or 2 columns are being edited, but that is just my preference.

The way a lot of people handle this is to call a form with that single record
that can be launched from a rightclick or other keystroke from the grid. This way, you can use the grid for navigation, when you find the record pop open the form, edit/validate/save and return right back into the grid where you left off.

>I'm just starting to convert (re-write) my DOS App. Along the way I have read several Hentzenwerks Books, looked seriously at C#, and Delphi. But, for now there is so much code in the app (10MB) to rewrite it all in .NET would be a task...
>In the DOS app I have a few Event Handlers that create a Grid Like form with the ability to edit (validate) each field, and it supports multiple pages when there are more fields than can be diplayed (almost all the time). These all have the ability to create a new record (incremented) with a down arrow on the last line. It also has the ability to do an on key label on a line, or a field. I'd love to duplicate this in VFP...
