Hi Craig,
This discussion has been helpful to me. I hadn't dealt with the Format property, only SelectOnEntry. They aren't the same. I rely on Grid.ActivateCell a lot, and it does not respect SelectOnEntry--it behaves as it you clicked into the cell in that regard--no highlight. However Format="K" does highlight the cell I just pointed to with ActivateCell(x,y).


>>My client complained that some textboxes show a highlight and others do not. So immediately I thought SELECTONENTRY. So I set one textbox .T. and the other .F. and ran the program. I can find no difference between the two textboxes. If nothing is in either textbox all you get is the bar type cursor. If there is something in the textboxes they both highlight the text. What is SELECTONENTRY suppose to do?
