Thanks Cetin and all who helped.

This solution works just fine

Do not set selectonentry in textbox level. Grids have a hierarchy to propagate some of the properties to controls contained in column. Setting SelectOnEntry at column level is sufficient (unless you set bound = .F.). I didn't include 'Column' as last parameter just for I was lazy and VFP knows where to apply :)
