>When AllowCellSelection = .f. the entire row is highlighted and I think that is an improvement. How can I determine the value of the column4 textbox in that row? Everything I've tried is unreliable.
You should work with grid controlsource. The pointer will be on the record selected in the grid. The field bound to the textbox in the coulmn 4 will hold the value you're looking for.
