I noticed you call refresh before setting the order. Is the got focus supose to refresh thew dislay for the sort selected? My setfocus does not do that (there is no code in grid, column, header or textbox setfocus). Without the refresh after set order the data does not redisplay in the correct order. Look at my 2nd or 3rd response for my header.click code.

>I have code to capture the record number in the BeforeRowColChange to a form property. In 9 of 12 column headers have code to set the order of the data to that field. At the end of the header code it goes to the record variable if it is not equal to the recno. Can anyone tell me why the record pointer jumps around?
