>>>I cannot get the numeric values in a textbox in a grid to select on entry if instead of tabbing to the textbox, the user uses the mouse. I am sure I have seen the answer to this before, but can't come up with it. Of cource I have selectonentry set to .t.

Would it work for you to add a new property and do something like

*Textbox::Click
IF NOT this.lHasBeenClicked
    this.SelStart = 0
    this.SelLength = 50
    this.lHasBeenClicked = .T.
ENDIF

If you can't add a new property maybe you can use Tag.
