Your best bet is to probably put the key handling for this in the Keypress event of the form. To have the form's Keypress event fire for contained controls, you'll need to set the KeyPreview property to .T.

In the Keypress event, you can check to see if the grid has focus with the following:

IF THIS.ActiveControl.BaseClass = "Grid"
* put checks for INS & DEL keys here
ENDIF

If you want to check for a specific grid on your form, you can use the Name property instead of the BaseClass property.
