In the When method of the textbox of this column I put a KEYBOARD '{DnArrow}' CLEAR. You have to make sure that there is already a record in the cursor underlying your grid, and more important, before the cursor will go to the first column of the next line, the first column of the current line will be 'revalidated', which might be a problem.
