>>>In a VFP grid, how can we carry out a row level validation as the browse...valid... in FP2.6? When BeforeRowColChange fires, there is no way to know whether the user is changing row or column. Checking the lastkey is not feasible because the column/row change may be caused by a mouse click.

Ben,

You can set validation rules for views, but not for free tables. There is no other way to get validation ruels on a record basis in grids that is bulletproof. That is one of the many reasons that I NEVER allow editing in a grid. I woudl give the other reasons I don't allow edits in grids but it would exceed the length of a UT message and I'd get in trouble with Michel :-).
