Editable FlexGrid/Grid Control in VB4/5/6
Overview
This code shows how to use a TextBox control with a Grid.OCX (VB4) or a MSFlexGrid.OCX (VB5/6) control to make an editable grid control. It also demonstrates how to copy the selected Cells to the ClipBoard.
The code works by having a hidden textbox (text1) on the same form as the Grid Control and positioning it over the relevant cell when editing is to occur. The code should work with the standard GRID.OCX control that came with VB4 as well as the MSFlexGrid control supplied with VB5/6. The code has comments to show where FlexGrid only code could be applied.

Thanks a lot, this is indeed a more decent way than the one discovered earlier by me.
In return, if this solution is to big for anyone needing a small edit solution, try adding this to your code:
Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
Me.MSFlexGrid1.Text = Me.MSFlexGrid1.Text & Chr(KeyAscii)
End Sub
Do note however that the solution presented in the main article is, though longer, bettter usable. This one is maybe nice for the "quick-fix" style solution

Its really a great approach. However, there is only drawback that needs modification. A user double clicks on a field, changes it.. and now as per this approach, he is bound to press 'return/enter' key to make his change permanent, if possible can't we do it also be some other keys say on pressing 'Tab'. So that the user can make changes to multiple grids. The 'Tab' can navigate the user to next field as well as make his changes permanent.
