Thanks for hanging in there.
I just discovered that the BRCC fires twice. Anotherwards no matter what record I'm on in the grid and arrow down or reenter an amount(last field), the BRCC fires twice and adds the 2 blank records, weird.
With just LostFocus, it does the same behavior except only on down arrow.
I created a form with only the grid and the code just in the grid and it still does the same. I don't get it. I guess the grid is firing for the Allowadd New and "darrown" in lost focus. ??????

>>The problem is that the user does not want to press the down arrow, just have the cursor move to the next record for input BUT...if editing another record the default AllowAddNew behavior makes the cursor jump to the last record and arrow down no matter what record you are on.
