That can happen if you moved the columns in your grid around. Check what is the name of the column which really gets focus. See the sample form I just sent you where everything works as you want it, and check what is different from yours.

Also, you might want to use WITH ... ENDWITH to simplify and speed up your code:

WITH thisform.grid1
.Column3.readonly=.f.
.Column4.readonly=.f.
.Column5.readonly=.f.
.Column6.readonly=.f.
.Column7.readonly=.f.
.Column8.readonly=.f.
sele MyTempGridFile
appe blank
.refresh()
.column3.setfocus()
ENDWITH


Or use SetAll method:

WITH thisform.grid1
.SetAll("ReadOnly", .f., "Column") && Column 1 and 2 have .Enabled = .f. so their .ReadOnly setting does not really matter
sele MyTempGridFile
appe blank
.refresh()
.column3.setfocus()
ENDWITH
