Dorris,

Without knowing the type of object in the cell (textbox, combobox, etc), I can only guess at what's going on.

I vaguely recall some problem like this a few years ago and we tracked it down to the fact that the BeforeRowColChange() sometimes triggers before the Valid() and LostFocus() of the control in the active cell. Consequently the change in value has not been propogated back to the control source of the control.

A better approach might be

(1) to do all this work in the LostFocus() of the control, not in the BeforeRowColChange() of the grid. Generally processing in the BeforerowColChange() should be limited to situations in which two columns on the grid interact in some manner. If the processing involves just the control in the active cell -- the best place to put any updating code would be the LostFocus() of the control.

(2) if you must do this process in the BeforeRowColChange() use the .Value of the control to get the new value rather than the value of the field linked to the control.

Regards,
