The grid would respond with all records starting with "Roos" (there may be dozens). I would scroll to the record I want and double-click on it.

Set your tab-order so that the textbox is 1, the OK button 2


>2) How can a double-click event in a column set the record pointer and release the whole form (not just the grid).

You can write any code you want in the double-click event. Be aware that if you double-click on a column then the COLUMN double-click event is fired, not the GRID double-click. I usually set a form-variable in the calling form to the record number or unique id found in the FIND form. Then just add thisform.release and your FIND form will close.

Sorry, Don't know what you want here.
