Hello Kevin,
Two issues here...

1. How to make your grid updateable. In addition to what you've already done, make sure the columns and controls they contain are also set as ReadOnly = .F.

2. Your best bet, as I'm sure you'll hear echoed here by most developers, is not to let your users edit gridlists. One of the main concerns is making sure that your business rules fire in a consistent manner when moving from the record being added/edited. Considering that grid events don't fire in the "right" order consistently, this can be quite a challenge.

Check out the MM guide for using cListObjEdit. It pops a modal form for adding/editing and is our preferred choice. We've made a few grids updateable but only where the users threatened our lives!

Hope that helps,
---J
