Hi Evelyn,

local ac

ac = thisform.ActiveControl

do case
case vartype(ac) <> T_OBJECT
  && grid does not have the control

otherwise
&& from here on you can test different properties of ac
&& like BaseClass, Class, ControlSource, ...
&& to determine whether it is the grid or textbox you are after

endcase
