Hi Brenda.

>have a grid.column that has a checkbox as the control. set the grid to readonly, yet you can still click into the checkbox. the column has readonly = .t. checkbox does not have a readolnly property.

When you set the grid to readonly = True, set the textbox.Enabled to False.

>also on another form i have the almost an opposite situation. can tab to the checkbox and press enter to change its value, but am not able to click (with the mouse) to change the checkbox value.

Check your Sparse property setting for that column....set it False. This *may* be the problem here.
