A grid is an object that has a speedtip property and if the mouse is over any portion of a record displayed in the grid for more than one second the speedtip will display. No event handler associated with a query or a rowset understands the concept "form" so you can't use form.grid1.speedtip = 'Changed Speedtip' Try the following ****************   function rowset_onNavigate(type, nRows)        if this.fields["emp_active"].value = false           this.CanEdit := false        else           this.parent.parent.grid1.speedtip = 'Changed Speedtip'       endif        return true **************** In the the onNavigate event handler this  is the rowset this.parent   is the query this.parent.parent    is the form Mervyn.
