Go ahead and hesitate, Nancy. It isn't OOP, since the grid isn't self-contained, but it DOES work. I generally follow your first suggestion - put the code in the grid DblClick and then call that from the text boxes (or other grid controls).

>>I only have one thing to add for Steve: In a grid, you need to put the double-click code into EACH Mygrid.ColumnN.TextBox control. If you put it into the GRID DblClick the TextBox controls will override it. If you wish the DblClick code on each column to be the same, then put it into a form method and in each DblClick method simply put: Thisform.MyDblClick()
