Hi Barbara,

I guess everyone misunderstood me.
I have form with a grid on it (among many other things) and some textboxes.
wher the form gets instatiated data show in the grid but not in hte textboxes which are tied to the current record in the grid.
I tried several ways th set the focus to the grid to make the beforeafter rowcolumn method kick in

but it does not work!

>As others have suggested, you may want to highlight the current row in the grid. If you do, you need one of the classes suggested for that. If you don't want to highlight the current row, you may have just set the RecordMark property to .F., which wouldn't show the record marker.
