>>I have a wonderful grid that I desire to sort based on the user clicking on the fixed row columns. I don't know how to tell if the user clicked on the fixed row of the grid. The columns I get fine but the grid reports the same (.row = 1) if you click on the fixed row or the first actual data row. I have not found in the help a method or event to single out the header (fixed row) clicks. I would very much appreciate your help.

Thanks Eric, the link was highly usefull. Also, had I not worked out an answer I would be up and running now with your help. I truly appreciate the time you and the rest of the UT'ers take to answer as many of these questions as you do. I hope that the newer coders know how much the UT smooths out the learning curve. I am compiling some useful functions that deal with flexgrids and I will upload it to the UT as a plug in mod after I do some more testing (and a software release) anyway the code follows.

I tried a similar way using transparent shapes. But I allow resizing in the app. What I worked out is a nice clean solution that I am still testing.

Private Sub grdBudgetSummary_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
With grdBudgetSummary
    If y >= 0 And y <= .RowHeight(1) Then ' This will only be your fixed row
        ' Do a case here based on desired col type sorting
        ' the .col will be correct and it works after resizing the
        ' control. And a toggle value for ascending
        ' and descending will be nice here.
        If .col = 4 then ' Last Name column
            .sort = flexSortStringNoCaseAsending '5 
        End If 
    End If
End With
End Sub
