Just make the description's textbox.when() return .f. - as a function call it was not editable, with .when() returning .f. it would be inaccessible. Or you may just make that column readonly or something.

Before the grid shows - so I guess at the latest in the grid.init(), if not as early as form.load() or wherever in between you open your tables.

If the description may change during the data entry, or you add records, then you'd need to add a record in the cursor too (with appropriate key value), and call the function to fill in the description, whenever any of the fields that the function uses change. Perhaps in the ARCC of the grid just

replace description with myfunction() in crsDescription
