>It isn't hit the first click of the grid either. I just tested it out by putting a manual call to the timer action in that method. The timeraction requeries the main alias and re-sets 2 variables that are tied to txt fields on the form. They were still not updated the very first time.

Code to Enable the timer is located in the middle of the AfterRowColChange event of the grdNavigate class. That code is never reached if it is the first time the AfterRowChange event fires and you only change the column (i.e. you select the highlighted already highlighted row).

I haven't tested this so I don't know of any side effects, but if you change GrdNav.ilFirstTime property to .T. in the ShellAdditionalInit method of the grid, it should fire the code every time. This may run several methods more than once at the form initialization. You will have to determine if that causes you a problem *g*.

Good luck!
