Probably can't be done with the browse itself... not that I know. You may write a simple routine to create a default grid on _screen, though, with the current alias, and then it wouldn't have this select-on-entry, or you could just have a grid.setall('selectonentry',.f.) or something like that. I don't use browse to do much editing, so I've just accepted this nuissance.

After playing a little, I came up with this little browse.prg:

oForm=CREATEOBJECT("browform")
oForm.show(1)

DEFINE CLASS browform AS form
	ADD OBJECT oGrid as grid WITH recordsource=ALIAS()

PROCEDURE activate
	this.Resize
ENDPROC

PROCEDURE resize
	WITH this.oGrid
		.top=0
		.left=0
		.width=this.Width
		.height=this.Height
		.setall("selectonentry",.f.)
	endwith	
ENDPROC

ENDDEFINE

Now I have no idea why it has to be modal... if I run it without the parameter in oForm.show, it just flashes across the screen.
