Thanks Paul, my problem really is with the ability to right arrow over to the next cell after doing ActivateCell. Right now a right arrow will just move the cursor inside the current cell because it is in an edit mode. When I UP ARROW off of the current cell, I am then able to move around the grid using Arrow keys, but not until I move off of the cell selected with ActivateCell. I believe your suggestion will help with making it Look highlighted, but I would still have the same issue. Please let me know if I am mistaken. Thank you very much for you help.
Marcus.
