APPEND BLANK IN MyGridCursor will add a row. Setting the AllowAddNew property to .F.alse will prevent the arrow or enter from adding a row. You may want a command button to APPEND a new record. Sometimes a refresh or setfocus may be required to flush events.

Your proposal is good. If the columns are not defined and bound to the fields you will not have access to the the the grid's column objects or textbox properties and methods.

>When I open the form, the grid will show blank in all rows. The mouse cursor will wait for product code, which is stored in table. Suppose that table contains only 3 fields i.e code, name, rate and data is already present. (say PROD_MAST.DBF)
>Now when I type the code in product column (or click the magnifying glass) another form will popup to show list of product codes present. In this example I have selected product code as 'PTB003'. after loosing focus from product colum the mouse cursor will wait for quantity where as the rate colum will show the corresponding rate (say 3.15) that is already present in the product master table (PROD_MAST.DBF). Suppose I have entered a code which is not present in PROD_MAST.DBF, then an error box will come to tell the code is wrong. Then , When I enter quantity say 750, the amount column will now calculate quantity*rate (750 x 3.15) = 2362.50. I will forcefully then give the roundoff value in diff column say 0.50. Now the amount column will show 2363.00. When this row is completed the mouse cursor will wait for second row data (if I need more rows. There should not be no limit on how many records I want). The total amount of all the amount column will be added and is thus shown in the
>'local currency label' as 2593.00.

>Please tell me how can I do this? Will it be easy to create a cursor and appending a single blank row when form is loaded. When all the rows are entered,the data will be appended to another table say "PURCHASE.DBF". Suggest some other way.
