>Using VB6, I have a search form that displays records in a grid. In the KeyPress() and DblClick() of the grid I issue:

> '''
> ln_code = mygrid.Columns.Item(0)
> form2.custno = ln_code
> form2.Show
> '''
>
>If I double click on the grid, the 2nd form displays correctly and has focus.
>
>If I press enter on the grid and my grid's keyPress() is called, the 2nd form displays but focus is returned to the 1st form.

>Why does the same code work differently from the DblClick() and Keypress events?

because in the keypress event, the event is triggered before the key is released, launch your other form and come back to continue executing on form1.

Try adding a "keyascii = 0" at the start of the keypress event or use the keyup event.
