I have the following situation: I have a grid which contains several text boxes. In the afterRowColchange event I have a methods that check to see if anything has changed and it so calls the save routine. In the save routine I have code that check to see if the oldval of the control is not equal to the value of the textbox. However I have notice that if I am sitting in the textbox before changing row the value of the textbox.value has not change even though I have changed it - the controlvalue has changed. Is this a bug in FoxPro. However it I tab out of textbox before changing row then the value of the object.value has changed.
