>>I see exactly what you are saying. It seems silly to me that I will have to add this call to the centralized code to 3 places for each column in the grid, simply because VFP ignores the double-click. If I have 5 columns, that's 15 places!! Am I the only person who has tried to use double-click for this purpose? I would have that that the programmers would have forseen the need for this.

Mark,

I have a grid class that ahs 20 columns in it. I added a property named LastColumn which holds the column number of the last column the user should ever see. The Before and ater row col change events are used to control access to the columns. This way all of the generic code for the columns and controls is written inthe grid class once and forgotten. At design time I drop the grid on the form and set the LastColumn property and forget about it.
