IMO you'd have to look at the specific data entry task. When only a couple of cbo selections have to be made (or a calendar entry has to be moused) then grid is often good enough for data entry. Entering a one or two numbers as well is still good enough, as only part of KB has to be used (less distraction by concentrating on the single line...) esp. if a spinner can be thrown in to help.

>Grid isn't a good Ux for data entry. You should popup a modal form. Then set focus to that row in the grid when the data is saved.

>>I have a grid, and in the RightClick of Header1 of Column1 I have an Append Blank to add a new record to the grid. I need to SetFocus to the Column1.Text1, so the user can enter new info. I can see the new record pop into the grid, as it has a checkbox in one column, but no matter what I do, the cell/row will not 'get focus'. Any help will be most appreciated!
