Hi Jet,
if you don't don't need the name of the control inside a grid you can use code like this to get the name of the active control:
IF TYPE("Thisform.ActiveControl") == "O"
lcName = Thisform.ActiveControl.Name
ENDIF
It's important to check the type beforehand, because the ActiveControl property doesn't exist if there's no active control. For grids this code would return the name of the grid, not the name of the column or textbox inside the grid.
