Well, I got the ENTER USI <DBGridForm> and the lookups to work.
My manually entered data (an item code) does get saved to the table but
the lookups don't.
And there are some other rough edges: even though the lookup columns are
marked read-only, I've got to hit Enter to get past them to the end of
the row, and then another row is added - so that part works.
I'll work on it some more later.

I'd love to replace all scrolling regions with DBGrids, but this
situation is one where I have trouble figuring out how to use DBGrids
to achieve the same end as an easy scrolling region would be.
I need to bring up a form with: ENTER USING <formname>
User will be entering multiple rows at once. When the user types in
an Inventory#, I need 5 other "variable" type of fields to display
immediately to show details of that inventory# they typed in (like
description, color, etc).
When using a DBGrid in edit mode, I would set up a Enhanced Properties
/ Lookup Expression as below to display the values (and make that
column read-only so the user doesn't change it)

However, when doing "enter using" it appears nothing will work until I
leave the row and thereby save it even tho I am using the required <
>. I tried setting a vPCGS# form variable and replacing the <pcgs#>
in the print-screen with a variable, but also does not evaluate until
row is saved.
Is there anything I can do to use a DBGrid rather than a scrolling
region? Do I need to play around with the new "UPDATEDFIELDNAME"
property / TEXTVALUE commands (again, I'm assuming these won't work
with an "enter using")?
A scrolling region would work fine, but darn it I want a DBGrid!
Suggestions?? Thanks, gurus!
