>>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.
