Hi Tim;
Have you tried setting the TabStop property to .F. although this won't stop people from clicking in them. I also believe that if you want to do a right click you can't set enabled to .F. but I could be wrong.

>I have a grid, which is populated by several rows from a table. I want the first two colums (which make up the key) to be displayed, but not be selectable. In otherwords, I want column 3 to be the first column , and have the first two be "garnish" of sorts. Tab needs to skip them, arrowkeys need to skip them, clicking on them should do nothing.
