Hi,

If you are using any functions in the column ControlSource for that datetime field such as TTOD or TTOC you won't be able to update that field on the grid. If this is the case you can either use the datetime field without the funtion and you will be able to update the grid (it will display the time portion on the grid as well) or you could remove that field from the grid and put it in a textbox on the form with the textbox ControlSource being a form variable that is updated with the current cursor value and refreshed at each rowchange. If a user enters a new value in the textbox the LostFocus method could update the cursor.

replace cursor1.dtfield with DTOT(this.value)
The time will be filled in as 12:00 AM.
