Hi Paul, I tried the code with slight changes to open an SQL server database, and it works fine allowing me to edit records. Have you changed the Allow Updates property of the grid?, this would keep you from editing the records from within the grid.

BTW, I'm also working with ADO, and I'd love to have someone to exchange tips with. I got the MS Data Grid working but I need to remove trailing spaces manually whenever I edit text, as in hitting the delete key or else it generates an error, I haven't found a programmatic way to do it. Let me know if you run into this.
