Jim,
You have hit a grid "behaviour" :) A quick fix is to replace those series of (thinking columns are rarely w/o controlsources) :

store ThisForm.Stgrid1.Column1.Text1.value to ThisForm.Sttxthipno.value

with :

store eval(ThisForm.Stgrid1.Column1.Text1.controlsource) to ThisForm.Sttxthipno.value

Better would be (you or someone else could change gridname, columnname or text1 name) :
ThisForm.Sttxthipno.value = myTable.myField

Also I noticed calculations and placing results of it in textboxes. In that case "programmaticchange" is a good place to put the code so you don't have to worry about duplicating code in more places. ie:

mamtdue = stntrans.amount - stntrans.amtpaid

If all are in textboxes, something like this in prog.change of textboxes of amount and amtpaid would do the job :

thisform.txtmAmtDue.Value = thisform.txtAmount.value - thisform.txtAmtPaid.value

(We are going away from original question but couldn't resist :)
if fname <> " "
mlname = trim(fname) + " " + trim(lname)
else
mlname = trim(lname)
endif

block could just be :
mlname = alltrim(trim(fname) + " " + lname)


You also have :
select stnbuyer
seek trim(thisForm.Stgrid1.Column3.Text1.value)
....

I would suggest :

if seek(trim(thisForm.Stgrid1.Column3.Text1.value), "stnbuyer",cStnTAGNAME)
....
endif

because rarely you could hit side effects of cahnging workareas while in grid (I don't have a clear list what they could be - quick ones that comes to mind are that since you're leaving current rec, rowbuffering might update, record level validation fire etc).

Better yet I would suggest a Select-SQL into array there.

Next, since textboxes do not have controlsources and behave like memvars you don't need thisform.refresh at the end (which in turn might fire unwanted side effects especially in parent-child situation).

Last, if this code is to be called from every click in all columns and is appropriate to have it w/o a click then the form.code could move to grid.AfterRowColchange and free you coding it into all textboxes (or subclassing textboxes just for this).
