>Instead of specifying the action explicitly, you might want to create a new method in the class called ActiononEnter or something and call that method in your CASE statement. That way you can put whatever code you want in that method in different instances of the class, and not have to modify the again class later. Polymorphism in action.

Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.

I have one remaining question and one more InGrid problem. First the question. Someone (It think it was Dragan Nedeljkovic), in this thread indicated that the InGrid keypress method should use isalpha rather than the range of characters currently specified. Does this mean that the code should read
CASE isalpha((m.nKeyCode)
rather than
CASE BETWEEN(m.nKeyCode, 49, 126) OR INLIST(m.nkeycode,32,45,39,48) && AlphaNumeric

Now the problem. My grid has three columns with InGrid text boxes. The user can click on the column header to set the index. I would like the record pointer to remain on the current record when this is done. My code is as follows:

thisform.grid1.column2.header1.forecolor = RGB(128,0,0)
thisform.grid1.column2.header1.fontBold = .t.
thisform.grid1.column3.header1.forecolor = RGB(0,0,0)
thisform.grid1.column3.header1.fontBold = .f.
thisform.grid1.column4.header1.forecolor = RGB(0,0,0)
thisform.grid1.column4.header1.fontBold = .f.
thisform.grid1.column2.ingrid2.setfocus
WAIT WINDOW '' TIMEOUT .01 &&& from an earlier InGrid problem thread
cur_rec = recno()
set order to shotorder
pe_index = shotorder
go cur_rec
thisform.refresh

For whatever reason, this code fails. The record pointer moves (consistently) to another record. There was an earlier InGrid thread in which it was indicated that there was some side effect in InGrid of clicking in the column header. Any thoughts on this.
