Ok... I fixed it by adding a temp variable and copying activerow to it
before the grid loses focus.

BTW- Here is all _my_ vfp5 help file has about it...

Specifies the row that contains the active cell in a Grid control. Not available at design time; read-only at run time.

Syntax

Grid.ActiveRow

Remarks

The ActiveRow property does not return the same value as RECNO( ) in an indexed table.
