Any subsequent attempt to edit a value produces a "The Record is Read-Only." message. I have no code in any method that changes this property. I checked this with the Trace and Debug windows.

>Did you reset ReadOnly property for the whole grid/column. If Yes, then controls will inherit this property. Anyway it's good thing (even for testing) to reset: Control.ReadOnly=.F.

Ed,
In my code, I was only resetting the Enable property for the grid. I did try your idea by resetting ReadOnly to .F. in the GotFocus for the grid textbox. It came up on the Trace window, but as soon as I clicked in the textbox and tried entering data, the GotFocus cleared Trace and ReadOnly went to .T.. I think I will try to build a new grid on the form and see if that will cure the problem.
Thanks for your help.

Jim
