>>The columns that I do allow the end user to modify I only want them to modify the column if some expression for the current record of the cursor is true (ie cursor.cur_flag = true).

>>I can't seem to get this to work I tried within the init of the grid to set the columns readonly value (ie this.column1.readonly = cursor.cur_flag = .t.)

>>Another thing is that even if the column is readonly the cursor still can be placed within the textbox. I like the behavior of the when event returning .f. better because the cursor will not sit in the textbox but unfortunately I realized that if you return .f. then that record is not selected at all.
