I have some other forms in the application with grids and there it works as it is should; that is, you can click in a cell but not change anything. And I don't use AllowCellSelection in other forms. It must be something I am missing in my form. I will keep checking and testing.

I think, if I understand the issue, it also depends on the cursor to which the grid is bound. Because I did have cases where the Grid.ReadOnly worked without having to set each column ReadOnly to .T. But I never took the time to pin-point exactly why it worked in some cases and didn't in others. Where it didn't work, I just called .SetAll("ReadOnly") to make it work.
