To be 100% sure that the grids readonly properties are .F., open the form in the form designer. From the command window, issue _vfp.forms(1).grid1.setall("Readonly", .F.). You may have to change grid1 to the name that your grid has.

Hi Ryss

I tried to do everything again and now it works.
Thank you very much for the suggestions from everybody.
