Carmen,

Make sure that AllowAddNew Property of the grid is set to false. It'll prevent adding rows with the DOWN arrow key.

>Hello All
> I hope that someone out there can help me with this one. I am using an interactive grid in an application that seems ideal for grid use. The grid consists of 5 columns, 3 of which are enabled while the other 2 are updated based on validation and entry. All of the methods and the validation of the input are working correctly. The user must use the INS key to add a new record to the table and this approach seems to work fine using the the Keypress Event. The only problem I am having is with the use of the cursor keys. When the arrow keys are used for navigation, the DOWN arrow key causes a problem. When the user cursors down through the grid to the bottom of the grid and then presses the DOWN arrow key again, a blank record is added. I have tried to intercept the keystrokes at the Control level in the grid ( textbox using Keypress ), using the Grid events ( BeforeRowColumnChange ), and at the form level (Keypress Event ). A further point, the grid is displaying data from a table which
> has been filtered. I also tried filtering the records, putting them in a new table and using that for the grid ( somteimes filtered data displays are not clean. ) ,this did not work either. The confusing part is that in a stand alone BROWSE, the DOWN arrow stops at the end of the table where it should. I apologize for the length of this message, but I want to give as much info. as possible. I would love to keep using the grid control, but I unless I can contol the navigation keys, I will have to come up with another solution. As always, I appreciate all suggestions. Thanks.
