John,

Do you think this will work in his example? Since columncount is -1 there aren't any controls in the grid, just a table reference.

>Set the Grid.Enabled=.T. but in Init or Refresh (as applicable) do a Grid.SetAll("Enabled",.F.)....the trick is to disable all contained controls in the Grid but not the Grid itself....capiche?
