Hi Soumya, You should create an event handler for the KeyUp event. Pseudo-code should be: private void dataGridView1_KeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e) { // Determine whether the key entered is the F1 key. Display help if it is. if (e.KeyCode == Keys. Enter ) { dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1[ dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex+1, dataGridView1.CurrentCell.RowIndex]; } } Please mark this post as an answer if it helps you Nir
