I don't know if your whole plan will work, but I can tell you that you need to put your code in the click of the textbox (or whatever control is in the columns) to have the click work. You can make all your textboxes call the click of the grid if you want to centralize your code.

>Hi. Here is what I am trying to do:
> Call a modal form that returns a value
>-- DO my_form TO my_value
> In the form is a grid, read-only. I want to click on a record in the grid (mouse) and have that record id returned.
> I tried the following code in the Click event of the grid
>-- my_value = my_dbf.this_id
>-- thisform.release

>Nothing happens when I click the mouse!
