Set ReadOnly property to true for the grid (you may also set them for every column)

>b. As the users scroll from line to line, change the color of the fore color and background color of the selected cells / line. Right now the default background is gray and fore color is read (to give it a disabled look). But as they scroll i want to be able to show which line they are on.

See HighlightStyle property of the grid

>c. When adding new records, I am having them to click on a button on the form with the grid, opens up a new form and captures the data. Then they press save adn the data entry form goes away and goes back to the orginail calling form. That part I have working okay. How do I stay on that record that they added and show it as the current line (background and foreground issue above ..section b. )

Save the record number of that new row, goto the recno() and also you may need to call grid.SetFocus() after moving to that record number.
