>Thanks, Nadya. That seems to work. I tend to forget that, even though the grid has may rows, only one is actually active at a time, so setting the state of the entire grid only really affects the row you happen to be in at the moment.

Even though I'm not directly setting the .ReadOnly property of the column and its CurrentControl, the .ReadOnly property of the CurrentControl gets set to .T. when its .Enabled property is set to .F. - but only after the control loses focus. You have to move out of the control and back into it to see that the value changes. VFP (or the control itself) must be doing it automatically.

You still have to move out of the control and back into it before it becomes modifiable. It appears that the only way to make it work the way I want it to is to forget about the .Enabled and .ReadOnly properties at the column/current control level and just use the grid-level .ReadOnly property.

I think, this is what I used, but I have to admit, I didn't make such extensive analysys as you did.
