>Steps for this reproducible problem are:
>- Grid connected to table
>- text box in Column in grid has focus
>- Rightclick in column, initiate procedure from a context menu
>- procedure does Scan ALL on _same_ table as in grid, using same workarea
>- during scan loop, after so many records process, pop up a modal VFP form telling user "That's X done so far, keep going?", and get a button click from user
>- little known to me: when modal form closes, activeform and activecontrol (apparently) revert back to the prior form and the grid; grid gets focus; result: record pointer moves back to record where the rightclick was done; scan loop behaves weirdly; can't figure out why, as there is no visible clue this is happening
>- oddly, this resetting of the record pointer only happens the first time the modal form is shown; times after that, no effect

Hard to suggest, but perhaps you need to move focus out of the grid before starting your process and put it back after.
