Naomi --

Well, if you have a solution, I certainly would like to see it. I've wanted a solution to that aspect of this problem for a long time.

Am most curious what Dynamic properties of the grid you might be referring to.

>>From my perspective, the only real problem here is that when the grid doesn't have the focus, you can't tell which records are visible. As far as I know, you can't tell which record is the top record unless the grid has focus. My solution for this was to activate the first cell in the grid. I thought this a minor inconvenience.

My solution for this was to always move the active cell to either the first or second column. Since I don't use grids for input, this is also a minor inconvenience for me. No doubt the code should check to see if the mouse is over the active cell, and only then move to a different cell.
