>I could learn about these triggers, but I was hoping to find a quicker easier way to do it. Do you know of an easier way to do this with grids?

Triggers are not really difficult, and their big advantage is that they work no matter where you do the changes.

My article (the one about the audit-trail) includes a complete - albeit simple - audit function, and instructions on how to use it. You might use this as a starting-point.

The basic idea about triggers is really simple: every time a record is added / modified / deleted, a corresponding function is called. The fact that this is defined at the table level gives you a tremendous control which you didn't have in the FoxPro 2.x days.

I would strongly suggest you forget about an incomplete solution, like one that works only for a grid on specific forms. For instance, you could easily overlook a REPLACE, GATHER, INSERT INTO, etc. command somewhere in your code.

Apart from those considerations, Before/ and After/RowColChange seem to be the appropriate events to check for changes in a grid.
