Instead of trying to use the grid rows/columns, try using the alias itself. This seems to work ok:

LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
Local lcAlias
lcAlias = This.Parent.Parent.RecordSource   && or thisform.vgrid2.recordsource if you like
IF nKeyCode = 13 
    NODEFAULT
    If !Eof(lcAlias)
        Skip in (lcAlias)
    Endif
ENDIF

>It seems pretty simple... The problem is It works fine for about 15 or so records and then stops working.. Trided a few diffrent data sets and had the same problem.. If i use the scroll bar the behavior becomes even more eratic sometimes skiping several rows down. I placed watches on the rows and colums. It all seems to look fine for the first few enters then just stops working or eraticaly
