Hi Mark.

>> Is there an easy way to control the default behavior of grid navigation when a field is entered? When I enter data into a cell, I would like the cell focus to move to the cell below, rather than to the cell to the right. Is there an easy way to do this without writing an elaborate validation method? <<

Create a custom textbox to replace the VFP standard text boxes in the grid columns. This code in Keypress:

IF nKeyCode = 13 OR nKeyCode = 9	&& Enter or Tab
  This.Move2NextRow()
  NODEFAULT
ENDIF

This code in Move2NextRow():

LOCAL lnMaxRows
WITH This.Parent.Parent
  *** Calculate the maximum number of rows in the grid
  lnMaxRows = INT( ( .Height - .HeaderHeight - IIF( INLIST( .ScrollBars, 1, 3 ), SYSMETRIC( 8 ), 0 ) ) / .RowHeight )
  *** If we are sitting on the bottom row in the visible portion of the grid,
  *** Scroll the grid down a row in case there is a next record		  
  IF .RelativeRow >= lnMaxRows
    .DoScroll( 1 )
  ENDIF   
  .ActivateCell( .RelativeRow + 1, .ActiveColumn )
ENDWITH
