>Does anyone know how to ensure that the current record in the grid allways has the record mark on it? In my opinion this has never worked the way it should intuatively work. Am I wrong?

I agree it doesn't work right. I work around it by setting focus
to the grid momentarily every time I move the record pointer
programatically. You can eliminate the screen "blip" of the setfocus
by doing a THISFORM.lockscreen=.t. before the setfocus, and a
THISFORM.lockscreen=.f. afterwards.
