To elaborate on Michelle's and Erik's answers a bit...

Michelle is correct that it's the textbox click (or whatever control you have in the column) that's being run. For read-only grids, I've created a special textbox subclass that has the following in its click method:

this.parent.parent.click()

I also do something similar for the double-click and right-click methods.

Erik is also correct that you must return the value to the calling form from the modal form's Unload method. I don't know whether or not the tables are still open at that point. If you find that they're not, store the value to a custom form property in the grid's click, and return the form property from the Unload.
