Hi!

>Can someone explain to me how to add an option or checkbox to a VFP Grid Control! I would like to display a mouse pointer not a | to select the record. Anyway to make only 1 field in the grid the clicked on field instead of the entire record displayed.

>I have designed a search form that allows user to enter serach criteria and click a search command buttom. If only 1 record found it goes on to a display form. If more than 1 record found it makes visable a grid to show multiple records to choose from.

Why you need checkbox for this? Just define Click event for controls in grid. When that event received, sure record pointer in cursor controlled by grid will stay on the record that appropriate to row selected for click. So you now can run your form for current record...

Well, this is somewhat tricky for grid. The best way is to use Form's KeyPress event with 'Form.KeyPreview = .T.':

if nKeyCode = 27 && ESC key
  if PEMSTATUS(thisform,"MyGrid",5) AND thisform.MyGrid.Visible && if grid opened
    thisform.MyGrid.Visible = .F. ...
  endif
endif
