Hiya Steve ---

As Jim pointed out in his reply to this, ActiveRow can sometimes be worse than useless :-)

What I have found works (in a general sense) is that since the Grid is bound to a table, I reference the current record of the recordsource. So...if I want to start at a given line in a grid, I issue a GOTO or SEEK or whatever to take me to the record I want and then Grid.SetFocus()
