Store a marker for the record the grid is at in the grid's tag property. It could be a recorrd number or key fields from the grid's data source.

The problem with those events is that they only address a column change, so you have to "cache" something to idendify when the row (or record) changes.

The before change method always seemed awkward:) With the afterchange, if there is a problem in the "row" just exited, the app can return to it by the "pointer" in the grid's tag. This code should work in BeforeRowChange:

LPARAMETERS nColIndex
with thisform
if transform(recno())#this.tag
   * The row has changed because the current record number is not 
   * the same as the one stashed in the grid's tag.
   * Should there be a problem with it, go back to the record in the tag
   if .SomeError() && Return to row just exited
      goto val(this.tag)
      * You may need a grid refresh or set focus to reset the highlite
   else && No need to revisit last record
      this.tag=transform(recno()) && Stay put and stash the pointer
      * ,, do new row business
   endif &&Some error
   this.setfocus && Maybe not necessary
else && The column changed, but the row remains the same!
   * do nothing
Endif &&transform(recno())#this.tag 
Endwith &&oform
