The problem I am having is that when a grid textbox is clicked on with the mouse, or tabbed to, the Readonly property changes to .T.. Clicking on the Record Marker area affects column 1. 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.

Bruce,
I would hope that something is changing ReadOnly that I am just missing, as "slipping" properties is not an encouraging thought about an application tool from the world's biggest software company. Thnaks for the advice.
