Thanks for the help.

I think I understand what you are suggesting, but I've tried playing around with it, and I can't get FoxPro to do the MOUSE command, and then check the new selected item. I've tried using stuff in the MouseUp method, the Click method, and the DragDrop method (and many combinations), but I can't get it to work. Would it be possible for you to share a small code snippet? I am really perplexed as to how FoxPro wants to work.

Thanks again!
