If you enter data into the last cell of a grid and hit tab or enter or down arrow, the screen acts as if the data has been accepted, but it really isn't. As for the first cell, enter data and hit shift tab or up arrow, again, the data is not saved if you hit the save key. I got around this by creating my own sub-class of superfield and placed code in the cellKeyPress event to detect and correct these problems. Also if data is entered and the user clicks out of the field, it is left visible in the cell but not accepted. You may want to add code for that too.
