>I would like to have a pointer to select a row (click) and then use that record to further process like in a detail view form.

You can put this code in the Click() event of the Column Controls. But I suggest you have a button on the form or a toolbar that the user must click to processor the current row the grid is on. For example, the user can select a row with the mouse or keyboard, over and over. Then, when teh right row is selected, the user presses a "Process" button or whatever you want to call it to continue.

>As above; but would allow multiple rows to be selected and then process a final or done click.

I better idea would be to have a logical field with a check box in teh column, then select multiple rows that way. Or use MultiSelect on a List box.

>Also, any easier lookup controls (vfp combo box/list box) ie look up a code and display a description in the field?

You can have multiple columns in a List/Combo.
