Hi Don,

I have encountered the exact same bug where you have a modal form returning a value into a grid text box - fine in VFP6, but locks up in a most peculiar way (not entirely frozen) in VFP7. Did you ever get to the bottom of this?

An app with the above grid functinality now seems to work as follows:
Running a VFP6 version of the app in a VFP6 environment works fine. (obviously)
Running a VFP7 version of the app in a VFP7 environment breaks.
Running a VFP6 version of the app in a VFP7 environment breaks.
Running a VFP7 version of the app in a VFP6 environment works fine. (But obviously would not if we were to use any of the VFP7 language enhancements).

ie the workings of the VFP7 development environment do not seem to have changed with respect to grids, but the runtime VFP7 is handling grids differently.

I am way out of my depth on this, being but a simple one-man band trying to keep a small office application together. I have been pretty unhappy with a few peculiar behaviours that seem to have crept in following the upgrade. :-(

For the time being I am going to revert to VFP6 - and hopefully the gurus out there will take heed!

Regards
Barry Sutton
