I tried setting focus to the column1.Textbox1 but it made no difference. It seems you have to click on them to make the change. There is code in the MouseDown event in every column but I don't think that make any difference. Is there a way to code a mouse click?

Ed,
thanks for the help. The Form.RightClick you suggested didn't work. I just realized it could be because I don't have any data in the grids when the form starts. I set BindControls = .F. when the form loads and then set it to .T. after the cursor for the left grid (select from) is loaded. There will never be any data in the right column (selected items) on startup anyway, nothing has been selected. I tried the Mouse Click and it worked great so, for now, that will be my fix.
