For the Ingrid control make sure to call the default class behavior.

Scott:

I'm not sure that I follow the above. I ended up modifying InGrid.vcx by adding the following to the KeyPress Code
CASE m.nKeyCode=13
THIS.lInGridActive = .f.
thisform.release
This seems to work in that it closes the form and places the user on the correct record. I assume that I could add other code that would leave the form and grid active but take other actions.

Whenever I tried to place any code in the KeyPress of the Ingrid control on the grid, every keystroke produced "This control is read-only" errors.
