>>>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 might try this. You will still use the BeforeRowColChange event to fire your validation, however, have a look at the Grid.ActiveRow property. But do excercise caution. It may not return the same row number as would be returned by RECNO() in an indexed table.
