>I have a grid with txtboxes in most columns, but an editbox in one certain column. Sometimes when I try to use Ctrl-A to select the contents of the editbox control, it gets ignored. The work around it to press Home to get to the beginning, then press Shift-End to select to the then end. But, why does Ctrl-A work sometimes, but then not others. There are no controls with .keypress() functions anywhere, so I know it's not that. Isn't Ctrl-A a Windows or VFP standard action?

Matt,

CTRL-A is a menu short cut to the Select All bar on the Edit popup of the VFP system menu. If the VFP Edit menu is there you can use CTRL-A if the Editmenu is not there you cannot use the CTRL-A.
