This is the scenario:

Imagine a form with a NEW Record button and a grid, (and lots of other stuff, but lets keep it simple here).

When the New Record button is pressed the first empty cell in the first column should be activated.

I have tried the following approaches in the button click method:

THISFORM.Grid1.SETFOCUS
THISFORM.Grid1.ACTIVATECELL(1, 1)
i=2
DO WHILE NOT EMPTY(THISFORM.Grid1.Column1.Textbox1.VALUE)
> THISFORM.PAGES1.Page4._grid1.ACTIVATECELL(i,1)
> i=i+1
ENDDO

and this...

THISFORM.Grid1.SETFOCUS
THISFORM.Grid1.ACTIVATECELL(1, 1)
DO WHILE NOT EMPTY(THISFORM.Grid1.Column1.Textbox1.VALUE)
> KEYBOARD '{DNARROW}'
ENDDO

Unfortunately it seems that THISFORM.Grid1.Column1.Textbox1.VALUE always is evaluated to the value of the first row,col, and therefore the thing in fact becomes a forever loop.

What to do?

TIA and regards!
