>>I consider this a serious error since it involves a record pointer movement not specifically instructed by the program or initiated by the user, but for some reason the VFP team did not fix it. I don't know if it fell through the cracks or they just decided it wasn't serious (I would have a hard time fathoming that conclusion!).

They are complex beasts, I suppose. In fact, some "gurus" say to never do data entry in a grid. I've always thought that was terrible advice. I've done data entry in grids from day one with VFP (I skipped over VFP 3, so for me that means VFP 5 and above) and have had no problems to speak of. Until this bug that was introduced into VFP 8, that is. But that's not even related to a grid doing data entry. It's just serving as a navigation tool.
