A form with TIB_Grid and some TIB_ edit controls connected to a datasource
with a TIB_Query... simple as I can make it.

datamodule create open the query
after query return to last project with:

IB_QProject.KeyFields.Values['PROJIND'] := irLastProject;
IB_QProject.LookupKeyForFields;

Form opens, focus on grid.
click into TIB_edit control and I cannot edit (type text) straight away - I
ned to click off the record (in the grid) and back to the record to
successfully start typing and turning the query into edit mode.

I can then browse to any other record in the grid and start typing in the
edit box with no problem.

1. How can I make the typing turn on edit mode on application start 9i.e.
the first record the grid is on?

Next I click away from the edited text by clicking a new record in the grid
but I can't get the grid to move until the second click.

2. Is there some method for making the grid, editing, navigation work more
smoothly?

thanks
Alan
