>Hello Nadya
Should the grid be built from code rather than using the Builder? I'm not really sure how to get my own textbox into a column on a grid other than building it through code.

You should use your own textbox in Grid's columns instead of normal textbox. In this textbox KeyPress method you would program the behavior, you want. For validation records in grid see yesterday's message from Marcia Akins.

Since KEYPRESS event doesn't function withing a grid ( at least I haven't been able to get to work ), if I want to trap for say the INS key being pressed, is it best to do it in the Beforerowcolchange method using LASTKEY() ?
