Larry,

Good luck *g*

Seriously is it a readonly grid? If it is there would be a way to keep focus out of the cell.

If not, I think you have to play with the settings of the Textbox itself to get it to do what you want.

>PMFJI, but I'm looking at your class to highlight a grid row using a shape object. What I want is to keep the entire row highlighted and not have the selected cell be colored differently. For example, if I highlight record #1 by clicking in column #1, then all cells get highlighted except the cell in column #1.
