>>>I am trying to automate the movement of the cursor in a grid. After the user enters data in the default textbox of column 3, I want the cursor to stay in this colmn and move down one row. I have tried placing the appropriate SKIP command in the LostFocus method but haven't gotten the results I want. I have also tried setting the proper row and column using the ACTIVATECELL function.

Randy,
Just keep in mind to use this code in that particular grid.textbox. This code depends on (set order to 0) no order. Also instead of alias() use this.Parent.Parent.RecordSource to prevent some headaches.
