It was working for me, but in slightly different situation. I just use Form.EditMode to set readonly appropriately. This worked fine, but I don't remember at this moment, if I had that kind of more complicated scenario. May be if you messing with the mouse of the grid, the record number could not be retrieved correctly? Just a speculation, I don't have VFP to test the simplest method right now...

Right, besides this part could be easily adjusted to allow to modify these newly added records only...

Right, we just throwing the ideas out, so the originator can come with the good solution.

I used grids for data entry, but it's always problematic...
