Hi Craig,

>At this point it attempts to remove and add the grid columns back, all of which works fine except for the original cell that was double clicked on as there is still code executing from this control( the edit method)

In the Click event create a timer with an interval set to 10 ms. Move the code from the Click event into the Timer event. Click return, VFP becomes idle and then triggers the timer event. When you are done, release the timer and all references you had to store.
