Thanks for the clarification of what that table field item edit mode is all 
about, Craig.

A nice solution, too! I reduced the wait to 0 and the items enters edit mode 
only very briefly but exits. Edit mode still works with a double-click.

This is just an in-house utility, so we can live with that - if it was a 
customer app, I'd doubtless be banging my head on the overhang of the data grid 
learning curve instead! ;-)
Best,
Keith..
