This has to be something within the grid. If you're sure that neither the grid nor any of the columns are read-only, I'd start looking at any code in the grid. Are there any WHEN methods? You may need to trace to see if that turns up anything. Otherwise, you may have to try starting with a plain grid that doesn't use your base classes, and start adding to it to see if you can recreate the problem.
