Thanks for the reply Nancy. After sending the question I kept looking and decided on the AfterRowColumnChange. In this event I check to see if certain key fields are empty. If so, it's a new record and I do my extra processing. When saving I just remove added records that were left blank.

Of course, this begs the issue of several records being added...I think I just prefer to keep adding records to grids under tighter control. For example, I usually check to make sure the user _really_ wants to add a new record (it's the nature of my apps and what the users asked for, so no flames, please).
