I use the grid's "BeforeRowChange" to manipulate the database the grid is using. It works just fine, but when I enter data in the 2nd column and tab to the 3rd column, this strange white box appears near the upper right-hand corner of the form about an inch long with a few blank spaces to the left of the box and then filled with "XXXXXXX" to the right end of the box. There are no lines, like a text box, just space enough to display the "XXX's". I'm using VFP 6.0 and everything has been working great until this. If I continue and close the form and open it again, it is gone until I enter the 2nd column and enter a number. Interesting, if I go the 3rd column and enter text and then go the 2nd column and enter text, the white box does not appear. Only when I enter the grid for the first time and go from column1 to column2, enter text and go to column3. I think it must be a bug. Has anybody seen this problem? Is there a fix?

Code used in BeforeRowChange:

IF this.activecolumn = 2
If this.value > 0
replace epicbg.bcp with 100 * (this.value / m.icn)
this.column3.text1.refresh
Endif
ENDIF
