I have a grid on a form. The grid has 4 columns. I want the first two columns to be read-only while I want the user to be able to write changes to the cursor by making changes to columns 3 and 4. Initially, I have the recordsource set to blank " " and the recordsourcetype set to "1 - Alias" to display an empty grid.

A button on the form has a click method that creates a cursor and inserts data into that cursor. I then programmatically set the recordsource of the grid to the cursor, I set the controlsource for each column to the name of the field in the cursor, I set the grid's read-only property to .F. and I set the read-only property of the each column (and its textbox) as described above.

When I run the form, the data is loaded into the cursor properly. Since I have just created the cursor, it is opened exclusively. Any attempt to change any value in any of the four columns on the grid is met with a message on the status bar: "The control is read-only".

What am I missing??
