Thanks for the reply.

I can visualize the user selecting the item in the list without wanting to open its viewer and wanted something a little more definitive than selecting the item before they actually launch the application to view the item. I thought double-click would be intuitive for the user since they have several places which require that for actions to be performed. But no matter how fast I click, the dbl-click event never seems to fire. I think that I will put a button < view item > on the form. There is (barely) enough real estate left (form cannot be resized) to handle this.

Thanks.......Rich
