>I have a grid whose control source is one table. I have several indexes in a CDX. I have placed the code:

set order to <FieldName>
>thisform.refresh( )

in the header.click The order gets set alright but the record pointer doesn’t necessarily stay on the current record when CLICKing on the various headers. Why is that and how should I address this issue?

Just save the record pointer before you SET ORDER TO, and GOTO it afterwards:

lnCurRecNo = recno()
set order to <FieldName>
if lnCurRecNo <= reccount()
   goto lnCurRecNo
endif
thisform.refresh()
