Hi Mark and Barbara,

Thanks for your input. With a little more leg work I tracked the problem to a .setall('enabled',.f.,'textbox') in the init of the form. Removing this line made everything work OK.

Once again thanks to you both

Doug Johnston

>Not sure about the disabled problem, but your double-click code needs to go in the DblClick method of the texbox [or other control] in EACH column of the grid.

>>I have a grid with 3 columns using a local view as the control source. I want a dblClick event to launch another form but for some reason it just won't work. Whenever the cursor is placed in a cell on the grid it seems to become disabled. I've checked all the logical things (enabled, read only etc) but still no go.
