>Hi All,

>I have a grid with 11 columns. 10 of them are readonly. In the 1 column I put code in the VALID event of the textbox. But nothing happens when I exit the textbox. I am able to enter a value into it, but that is it. I tried playing with the Sparce property of the column, but that did not help. Could someone enlighten me as to why none of the events work in the textbox???

It is *not* readonly, but if you put a WAIT WIND or Messagebox() in the Gotfocus, Valid, or Lostfocus, nothing happens when you move through it? Sparse should usually be .T. for a textbox column...

You sure you have only one control in the column?
