Thanks David, I'll put this in my R&D directory. I had not thought to explore the activecell thingy when I'd been working. For my purposes, setting the grid back to the beginning it's just what I need. Probably not suitable for really sophisticated setups but fine for now. - Sarah

>>I'll have a play with nodefault and the horizontal scroll bar is gone. However as the user tabs through the fields of the grid and potentially widens the fields (resize is .t.) the first columns can get hidden and then, because there's no scroll bar, it's tricky to get back to them. I'd like to fix them in place so they are always visible.
