>Thanks for this which I do have set as .F. The problem I have is that the grid displays but the inputmask is not being used. When I click on the cell it applies the inputmask and even when I then leave that cell the inputmask continues to be applied as desired. If I resize the column then also the inputmask is apllied to all cells. How to apply the inputmask for all cells on display of the grid?

Jos,
You're right. I worked around :

*Form.init
thisform.Grid.Columns(NumColumn).SetFocus()
thisform.FirstControl.SetFocus()
