For every row that it encounters where that column is not blank, it adds a new row. You haven't explained exactly what you're trying to do. At a guess, you want to add a new row if there are either no rows in the grid, or all of the rows have a value in the d1alisname column. In which case, you need to move the "add row" code after your For loop from your second code block: For i = 0 To DataGridView1.Rows.Count - 1 If DataGridView1.Rows(i).Cells("d1alisname").Value = "" Then Exit Sub End If Next DataGridView1.Rows.Add() "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer
