That's very interesting. I just assumed it was a problem in VFP8 because the problem that is occurring did not happen until we moved to VFP8. I will have to look into it further. Thanks for your time.

>Can you give an example that only does this in VFP 8, but not in previous versions? I tried a simple example with a grid and a button outside the grid that calls TableUpdate, and I see the BeforeRowColChange firing before the TableUpdate in VFP 6, 7 and 8.
