SYMPTOMS

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a new form.
Place a Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) Data Control on the form. Make sure that the source has several records, enough to require you to scroll.
Place a Microsoft DataGrid Control on your form, and then bind the DataGrid control to the ADO Data Control.
Set the DataGrid's AllowAddNew property to TRUE.
Run the project, scroll down the grid to the bottom, and then add a new record.
Enter a value into one of the columns.
Press ESC twice to:
- Clear the field.
  
  -and-
- Cancel the AddNew.
The focus is on the last record as expected.
Repeat the AddNew and Cancel.
The focus is still on the last record as expected.
Click a field in the last record. You will see that the field of the second to the last record is highlighted.
If you modify the field value, the value is written to the last record.
