Are you issuing a nodefault when trapping the delete key? I went back to my test form, and removed the nodefault I had put in the keypress event of grid1.column1.text1 and I'm now observing the same behavior. This code in the text1.keypress worked fine for me under VFP 6.0:

*Grid1.Column1.Keypress event
LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
wait window str(nKeyCode) nowait
do case
	case nkeycode = 7
		delete
		nodefault
	case nkeycode = 22
		append blank
		nodefault
endcase
thisform.grid1.refresh

>My problem is that I want to do the deletion from within the grid by trapping the delete key in one column of the grid. If the deletion is WITHIN the grid & you are deleting the LAST row VFP6 rewrites ONLY the active remaining rows - not even a grid.refresh helps. I suppose they are saving a few clock cycles or something.
