>Does anyone have a solution to changing the Mouse Pointer in a Grid from an 'I' beam to an arrow?

If your running VFP 8 and the user doesn't need access to a cell, Set the AllowCellSelection to False.

on older versions, it's a little more difficult, Create a container object, with a textbox object in it, with a container object over it, that has a BackStyle of Transparent.
