Hi Chris,

Could it be that recno() can exceed the max value for ActivateCell as the grid becomes full and starts scrolling.

>I have an intermittant problem w/ a grid. The requirement is that if the user is on the last row of a grid (natural order only) and the user enters a value into a field (column 2) in that last row, code fires to append a blank row to the bottom and then return to the row the user was on before the append, so they can continue w/ data entry. That works fine. The issue is with the last column in the grid. The idea is to move the record pointer to the newly added last row (the blank record) as the user tabs thru the last column of the last row.

Other than its not a problem for the first 8 or 9 records that get added. After that, its intermittant. The code is shown below. There are no deleted records involved. Anything look out of place?
