Dennis,
In the When event you can display a popup, I think the users are going to get pretty annoyed with it though.
Personally I despise interfaces that have distinct View and Edit modes. With the buffering available in VFP now it's pretty trivial to have Save and Undo buttons.
>Thanks, that gets rid of the message, but I'd like to override to display a pop-up to tell the user they need to press the add/new button or the edit button first.
