Maybe textbox is not the CurrentControl or Dynamiccurrentcontrol. In BRCC this could work better :

if lastkey()=13 and !mdown()

What does BRCC stand for?

Grid.BeforeRowColumnChange
>>If it's only for a specific column then add control to check Column's nIndex too. nIndex parameter in BRCC might not work for you if columns are reordered. Instead something else like this would be better :

*Grid.BeforeRowColumnChange
>>LPARAMETERS nColIndex
>>if this.columns(.FindColumn(nColIndex)).Name = "myCheckColumn" and ...

>>		if .columns(ix).ColumnOrder = nColIndex

In the when event of my grid, I loop through all the columns and set the curretcontrol to my textbox, but the gotfocus event of the textbox is still not firing. The BRCC is firing for sure, but it's like the textbox is being completely ignored.

James,
I would bet there is another class code setting currentcontrol to something else after you. Also it would be sufficient to set it in PEM sheet or init.
In afterrowcolchange of grid put this code temporarily to check :

wait window this.columns(this.ActiveColumn).Currentcontrol timeout 2
