>I'm developing a Point of Sales (POS) application. I start with a Form and place a grid which is bound to an alias called "Trans" where Trans is a transaction table. The grid has 6 columns: ItemNo, Desc, UOM, Qty, Sell_price and Total.
>
>I put the statement RETURN .F in the WHEN event of the following columns: Desc, UOM and Sell_price to prevent the user from entering those cells.
>
>When I start this POS application, the cursor will be setfocus to the first column of the grid that is ItemNo. I can type in the ItemNo or type '?' (question mark) to pop up the Item List so I can pick an Item from the list. After pressing Enter, the program will get the Sell_price value from another table called "STOCK" ( this is done in the Valid event of ItemNo textbox).
>
>Then the cursor will go to the Qty column because Desc, UOM are set to RETURN .F. in their WHEN events. In the Qty column I type in the Qty amount and press Enter. The program will calculate the Total column based on the Sell_price already retrieved from STOCK table multiplied by Qty entered. After calculating the Total the program will add a new blank row and the cursor will be in the ItemNo again.
>
>Then I enter the ItemNo for the second row and complete the second row. Now I'm in the ItemNo of the third row (new blank row). I do not type in the ItemNo for the third row, and I press Up arrow to move the cursor one row up to the second row (ItemNo of the third row is left empty). After I get to the ItemNo of the second row, then I press Enter to move the cursor to Qty column. Then I press Up Arrow to move up one row to the first row. Then I press Down Arrow again to move down to the second row. At this point the first row Total is recalculated again using the Sell_price of the second row because when I look at the table the record pointer of the Trans table is not moved as I move the cursor (change row from second to first row) in the Qty column. What should I do to link the movement of the table's record pointer with the movement in the grid ?
>
>Note: Everything works fine if I move the cursor in the first column (ItemNo) and press Enter to go to Qty column. Every time I want to change the Qty of another row when I'm in the Qty column I should go back to the first column and then move to another row and press Enter to go the Qty column that I want to change.

I don't think the sequence of keystroke you execute is the prime cause.

Did you define your recordsource? Are you on buffering mode?
