Andrus,

The problem is because when using a DataGrid, the Form's ActiveControl is the DataGrid's DataGridTextBox, but when you use a DataGridView, the Form's ActiveControl is the DataGridView instead of it's TextBox. You'll need some additional code there to get around this (I don't have time to play with it right now, but hopefully you'll be able to figure it out ... play with it in the debugger).

You'll notice that the post that you got that from was a long time ago (back in 2002, might even have been 1.0 still ... I'm not sure when we started using 1.1) and DataGridView is new to 2.0. I haven't used a DataGridView yet (except to play with), so I don't have a quick answer for you at the moment.
